What's the best way to use self-compiled Anki for normal study?

Anki Development
5

I placed the wheels in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\AnkiProgramFiles\wheels directory and updated the pyproject.toml in AnkiProgramFiles to this:

[project]
name = "anki-launcher"
version = "1.0.0"
description = "UV-based launcher for Anki."
requires-python = ">=3.9"
dependencies = [
  "anki-release==25.09.2",
  "anki==25.09.2",
  "aqt==25.09.2",
]

[tool.uv.sources]
anki = { path = "wheels/anki-25.9.2-cp39-abi3-win_amd64.whl" }
aqt  = { path = "wheels/aqt-25.9.2-py3-none-any.whl" }

Then, clicked on Anki shortcut, chose Sync project changes in the launcher window that opened and it worked. Thank you!

I faced this issue in between: Failed to uninstall package due to missing `RECORD` file
I solved it by manually removing the problematic files from the \.venv\Lib\site-packages directory.
