Check Dependencies

Verify that required dependencies are installed and compatible with the project requirements.

When to Use

• Setting up development environment
• Validating CI/CD environment configuration
• Troubleshooting import errors
• Checking version compatibility

Quick Reference

Copy# Check Python dependencies
pip check

# Verify specific package versions
pip show package_name

# Validate pixi environment
pixi info
pixi task list

Workflow

1. List requirements: Identify all declared dependencies (pixi.toml, requirements.txt)
2. Verify installation: Check that all packages are installed and importable
3. Check versions: Confirm version constraints are met
4. Test imports: Actually import modules to detect hidden issues
5. Report status: Document any missing or incompatible dependencies

Output Format

Dependency validation report:

• All declared dependencies listed
• Installation status (installed/missing)
• Installed version vs required version
• Compatibility status (compatible/incompatible)
• Issues found (if any)
