Installation

Requirements

  • Python 3.9 or higher
  • A dbt project with compiled artifacts

Install from PyPI

The easiest way to install Parrant is via pip:

pip install parrant

Formerly dbt-col-lineage

Parrant was previously published as dbt-col-lineage. That package still installs the last release under the old name, and the dbt-col-lineage command keeps working (with a rename notice) for now — but new releases ship as parrant.

This will install the latest stable version and all required dependencies.

Install from Source

If you want to contribute or use the latest development version:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Fszta/parrant.git
cd parrant

# Install with Poetry
poetry install

# Or with pip
pip install -e .

Verify Installation

Check that the CLI is properly installed:

parrant --help

You should see the help message with all available options.
