FastboxEx

Install on Windows

For 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. Everything goes in your user folder. No administrator rights are needed.

1. Install

In PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://exchange.samuel-drapeau.info/install.ps1 | iex"

This installs uv if needed, Python 3.13, the SDK with the fastboxex command, and the terminal UI. Run it again to update.

Open a new terminal once it finishes.

2. Save your login

fastboxex setup

It asks for your login and password once and keeps them where only you can read them.

3. Check everything

fastboxex doctor

It should end with done. One reachable server is enough. If it fails, send your teacher the whole output: it contains no password.

4. Run the examples

git clone https://exchange.samuel-drapeau.info/examples.git
fastboxex run examples/01_hello.py
fastboxex run examples/02_market_board.py

No git? Download the zip and unpack it. See all the examples.

5. Join the class game

Your teacher gives you a code:

fastboxex run examples/06_class_game/play.py --code THE-CODE

The terminal UI is fastboxex tui. The documentation has the rest.
