Installing the Client

We released a stable version of a new Transifex Client, compatible with the API 3.0, and offered as single executable.

Please start using the new Transifex CLI here, since this software is considered deprecated (as of January 2022) and will sunset on Nov 30, 2022.

Installing on macOS and Linux

The Transifex Client is written in Python, so it runs on most systems. The easiest way to install it is with pip:

$ sudo pip install transifex-client

If you use Ubuntu as your operating system, you can use the following command lines:

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip
$ sudo pip install transifex-client

This first installs pip on a system level. Then it installs the Transifex Client using pip.

You can also install the client inside a virtualenv with a virtualenv wrapper.

Installing the client from source

Just grab the code from GitHub and run the install script:

$ git clone http://code.transifex.com/transifex-client
$ cd transifex-client
$ python setup.py install

Installing on Windows

The Transifex Client is written in Python, so it runs on Windows as well. The easiest way to install it is with pip:

$ pip install transifex-client

This first installs pip on a system level. Then it installs the Transifex Client using pip.

You can also install the client inside a virtualenv with a virtualenv wrapper.

Installing the client from source

Just grab the code from GitHub and run the install script:

$ git clone http://code.transifex.com/transifex-client
$ cd transifex-client
$ py setup.py install

Getting the client as an executable

You can also get the the latest version of the client as an executable file from here.

  • Under Job Name, click on the environment link that matches your Python version (2.7.x or 3.5.x) and Windows version (32 bit or 64 bit).

  • Then click on the Artifacts tab on the right.

  • Click on the .exe file to download it.

Note

This executable file is standalone and doesn't need to be installed.

Place the executable inside your project's root folder. Then open Command Prompt and change the directory to your project. If your folder is located at:

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\project_name

Then enter the command:

cd C:\Users\<username>\Documents\project_name

Note

If you're using the executable on Windows, type tx.exe instead of tx, e.g. tx.exe help push

Upgrading the client

To upgrade the client, run:

$ pip install --upgrade transifex-client

You can also see which version of the client you're currently running by using this command:

$ tx --version
