I looked at the dizzying list of install options, then noticed pip at the top. After installing into a virtual environment, I found a tutorial that said to run the vd command. I wasn't sure if pip would install a command in my path, and it didn't. I tried to run it as python -m visidata, and got a ModuleNotFoundError for _curses.
Is it possible to get this thing running on Windows, or do I need to do it under WSL (or another computer)? Google turned up a package called UniCurses "with syntax close to that of the original NCurses."
Edit: I found Windows wheels for curses here:

And there is a visidata.exe in the virtual environment, which I presume is equivalent to the vd command.
- dagw 6y agoOn windows you have to run pip install windows-curses after pip installing visidata
