NAME
    Alien::pipx - Find or install pipx

SYNOPSIS
    Command line tool: pipx [options]

DESCRIPTION
    This distribution provides the Python tool pipx so that it can be used
    by other Perl distributions that are on CPAN. It does this by first
    trying to detect an existing install of pipx on your system. If found it
    will use that. If it cannot be found, it will download pipx for
    installation. Note that the installation method varies by operating
    system. MacOS and Windows users should have working installations of
    homebrew and scoop respectively.

METHODS
  exe
     Alien::pipx->exe

    Returns the command name for running the pipx utility.

SEE ALSO
    pipx <https://pipx.pypa.io/stable/>
        pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications
        written in Python. It's roughly similar to macOS's brew,
        JavaScript's npx, and Linux's apt.

        It's closely related to pip. In fact, it uses pip, but is focused on
        installing and managing Python packages that can be run from the
        command line directly as applications.

        How is it Different from pip?

        pip is a general-purpose package installer for both libraries and
        apps with no environment isolation. pipx is made specifically for
        application installation, as it adds isolation yet still makes the
        apps available in your shell: pipx creates an isolated environment
        for each application and its associated packages.

        pipx does not ship with pip, but installing it is often an important
        part of bootstrapping your system.
