Installation

Ships as a single self-contained binary. The .NET runtime is embedded -- nothing to install, no runtime to manage.

One-line install:

---

# Python — `pip install officecli-sdk`
import officecli
with officecli.create("deck.pptx") as doc:          # or officecli.open("deck.pptx")
    doc.send({"command": "add", "parent": "/", "type": "slide"})
    print(doc.send({"command": "get", "path": "/slide[1]"}))

// Node.js — `npm install @officecli/sdk`
const oc = require("@officecli/sdk");
const doc = await oc.create("deck.pptx");            // or oc.open("deck.pptx")
await doc.send({ command: "add", parent: "/", type: "slide" });
console.log(await doc.send({ command: "get", path: "/slide[1]" }));
await doc.close();

Both SDKs auto-provision the native CLI when missing (mirror-first, Windows-capable) and announce the install rather than doing it silently.

Or wrap subprocess directly, one-shot:

import json, subprocess
def cli(*args):
    return json.loads(subprocess.check_output(["officecli", *args, "--json"], text=True))
cli("create", "deck.pptx")
