Install Textual via pip:
pip install textual textual-dev
See getting started for details.
Run the following command to see a little of what Textual can do:
python -m textual
Or try the textual demo without installing (requires uv):
uvx --python 3.12 textual-demo
Textual apps are equally at home in the browser as they are the terminal.
Any Textual app may be served with textual serve — so you can share your creations on the web.
Here's how to serve the demo app:
textual serve "python -m textual"
In addition to serving your apps locally, you can serve apps with Textual-Web.
Textual Web's firewall-busting technology can serve an unlimited number of applications.
Since Textual apps have low system requirements, you can install them anywhere Python also runs. Turning any device in to a connected device. No desktop required!
