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
# Check Python dependencies
pip check
# Verify specific package versions
pip show package_name
# Validate pixi environment
pixi info
pixi task list
Workflow
- List requirements: Identify all declared dependencies (pixi.toml, requirements.txt)
- Verify installation: Check that all packages are installed and importable
- Check versions: Confirm version constraints are met
- Test imports: Actually import modules to detect hidden issues
- 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)
