Voice Mode

# Using uvx with Local Development > **See also:** [Building Voice Mode](development/building.md) for creating development builds and wheels. ## Running the local package with uvx ### 1. Direct local execution (simplest!) ```bash # Run from the project directory - uvx automatically detects the command uvx . ``` ### 2. Using --from with local path (explicit command) ```bash # Run from the project directory uvx --from . voicemode # Or from anywhere with full path uvx --from /home/m/Code/github.com/mbailey/voicemode voicemode ``` ### 2. Using file:// URL ```bash uvx --from file:///home/m/Code/github.com/mbailey/voicemode voicemode ``` ### 3. Installing in editable mode for development ```bash # Install the package in editable mode uv pip install -e . # Then run directly (not through uvx) voicemode ``` ### 4. Building and installing locally ```bash # Build the package uv build # Install from the built wheel uvx --from dist/voice_mode-*.whl voicemode ``` ## Testing both package variants locally ```bash # Test voice-mode package (default) uvx --from . voicemode # Test voice-mode package (legacy) UV_PROJECT_FILE=pyproject-voice-mode.toml uvx --from . voice-mode ``` ## Common use cases ### Quick test of local changes ```bash uvx --from . voicemode --help ``` ### Test with additional dependencies ```bash uvx --from . --with rich voicemode ``` ### Force reinstall (useful after code changes) ```bash uvx --refresh --from . voicemode ```
