UV: Failed to spawn `textual`: No such file or directory (os error 2)

[EnhancedJax]

Setting up a UV python project, I was unable to run the textual tool. The following is an attempt at installing and running textual using UV:

Traceback on running the module directly: uv run .venv/lib/python3.13/site-packages/textual

I think uv run -m textual should work to run as a module?

[EnhancedJax]

Yes, but the goal isn't to run textual as a module

[TomJGooding]

Sorry I'm not sure I understand, so are you trying to run the Textual dev tools?

[EnhancedJax]

Yes that is correct, sorry if I wasn't being clear

[TomJGooding]

It doesn't look like you're installing the textual-dev package. Does it work after uv add textual-dev?

[EnhancedJax]

Rightttt thanks that worked!
