Install Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET

Quick Answer: Install Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET from PyPI with pip install aspose-svg-net. After installation, import SVGDocument, create or load an SVG document, and save the result with document.save().

Install from PyPI

The recommended way to install Aspose.SVG for Python via .NET is through PyPI. The package name is aspose-svg-net.

pip install aspose-svg-net

To upgrade an existing installation, run:

pip install --upgrade aspose-svg-net

If you use multiple Python environments, run the command in the environment where your application runs. In virtual environments, activate the environment first, then install the package.

Verify the Installation

The following example creates a simple SVG file and saves it as circle.svg. It verifies that the package can be imported and that the main SVG document workflow works in your environment.

from aspose.svg import SVGDocument

# Create and save a simple SVG document
with SVGDocument() as document:
    svg_element = document.document_element
    svg_element.set_attribute("width", "120")
    svg_element.set_attribute("height", "120")
    svg_element.set_attribute("viewBox", "0 0 120 120")

    circle = document.create_element_ns("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "circle")
    circle.set_attribute("cx", "60")
    circle.set_attribute("cy", "60")
    circle.set_attribute("r", "40")
    circle.set_attribute("stroke", "black")
    circle.set_attribute("stroke-width", "3")
    circle.set_attribute("fill", "red")
    svg_element.append_child(circle)

    document.save("circle.svg")

The output is an SVG file with a red circle. If the script runs without import errors and creates circle.svg, the installation is ready for basic SVG document operations.

Installation Troubleshooting

Problem	Likely cause	Fix
pip command is not recognized	Python or pip is not available in the active shell	Use python -m pip install aspose-svg-net or check that Python is added to PATH
ModuleNotFoundError after installation	The package was installed into a different Python environment	Run python -m pip install aspose-svg-net with the same Python interpreter used by your application
pip cannot find a compatible package	Python version or operating system is not supported by the current package release	Check current package metadata on PyPI and choose a supported environment
Upgrade command does not change the imported version	The application uses another Python environment	Run python -m pip show aspose-svg-net with the interpreter that starts your script
Example creates no output file	The script runs in a different working directory	Use an explicit output path or print the current working directory
