Get it
Install it. It is early.
0.3.0 is the current packaged release, licensed AGPL-3.0. It installs on a machine with none of our deployment on it, which is what took the longest, and you can read every line of what would run.
Install
One package, two dependencies.
pip install micyte-0.3.0-py3-none-any.whlPython 3.13 · wheel from the release below · not on PyPI yet · needs pyyaml + shapely
import micyte
Notably no boto3 and no cloud SDK: that absence is a useful
check that the software carries no deployment coupling. It is a database
and its tools, nothing that phones home.
What alpha means
Plain about what is, and is not, here yet.
You get the database and its tools as a library. There
is no installer, no desktop application, and no micyte
command yet. The design for running it as a local app is
written down
and not yet built.
An install also cannot report itself to the registry yet: addresses resolve, but only inside a single deployment. The network map shows where that is going; it does not show live installs.
The reason to look now is the same reason the licence is AGPL: you can read the whole thing before there is anything to trust.
