Getting Started with Marimo on Windows (using uv)

Let's install the Marimo Python notebook on Windows with uv.

1. Get the uv Installer

First, we need to install uv.

• Open PowerShell:
• Run this command:

powershell -c "irm [https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1](https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1) | iex"

• Check if it worked!

To make sure the install was successful, close and reopen your PowerShell window, then type:

uv --version

If you see a version number, you're good to go!

2. Set Up Your Marimo Project

• 1. Create a Project Folder: Let's make a new folder and move into it:

mkdir MarimoProject
cd MarimoProject

• 2.Initialize the Project: This command tells uv to create a virtual environment inside this folder:

uv init

• 3. Install Marimo Now, let's add the Marimo package to your new environment:

uv add marimo

To unlock extra features like SQL cells and AI integration, you can use:

uv add "marimo[recommended]"

3. Launch Your Marimo Notebook!

Everything is installed! Now we use uv to run the Marimo tool we just installed.

• 1. Start the Editor: (it will create a new file named my_notebook.py if it doesn't exist)

uv run marimo edit my_notebook.py

• 2. Go to Your Browser: This command will automatically open the interactive Marimo notebook editor in your default web browser. You can now start writing your Python code!
