Getting started

NoMETA is available in PyPI.org, so the recommended method to install is $ pip install nometa. Otherwise, you can download the source code and run by yourself. NoMETA has a command line interface (CLI) that you can run directly. However, only a subset of metadata can be edited by CLI. You can use the command $ nometa -h to learn how to execute NoMETA on CLI.

The code snippet below gives a sample of how to use NoMETA programmatically. For more details, explore the left-side menu.

>>> from nometa import Document, Core, App
>>> doc = Document("tests/resource/test.docx",Core,App)
>>> doc.core.creator
'Michael Myers'
>>> doc.core.creator = "Johnny Test"
>>> doc.save("test2.docx")
