Installation

Prebuilt binaries

On macOS and Linux:

curl -LsSf https://rqtk.dev/install.sh | sh

On Windows (PowerShell):

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://rqtk.dev/install.ps1 | iex"

Both scripts download the right binary for your platform from the latest GitHub release and verify its checksum. You can also download an archive from the release page yourself.

With pip or uv

pip install rqtk            # or: uv tool install rqtk

The Python package contains the full command line and the @rqtk.verifies decorator for linking pytest tests. Wheels are available for Linux, macOS and Windows on Python 3.9 and later.

With Cargo

cargo install rqtk --locked

This needs Rust 1.88 or later.

Linking tests

Linking tests to requirements needs nothing extra for most languages: a // rqtk: verifies VA-… comment above a test is enough. Two languages have a checked annotation:

• Rust: add rqtk = { version = "1", default-features = false, features = ["macros"] } to [dev-dependencies] and annotate tests with #[rqtk::verifies("VA-…")]. An unknown activity ID is a compile error. (The standalone rqtk-macros crate works too.)
• Python: pip install rqtk and decorate tests with @rqtk.verifies("VA-…"). An unknown activity ID fails test collection.

See Verifying with tests.
