Getting Started
===============
**Getting Started with PrimAITE**
Pre-Requisites
In order to get **PrimAITE** installed, you will need Python, venv, and pip. If you don't already have them, this is how to install it:
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt install python3.10
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
.. code-block:: text
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
- Manual install from: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-31011/
**PrimAITE** is designed to be OS-agnostic, and thus should work on most variations/distros of Linux, Windows, and MacOS.
Installing PrimAITE has been tested with all supported python versions, venv 20.24.1, and pip 23.
Install PrimAITE
****************
1. Create a directory for your PrimAITE project:
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
mkdir -p ~/primaite/{VERSION}
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
mkdir ~\primaite\{VERSION}
2. Navigate to the primaite directory and create a new python virtual environment (venv)
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
cd ~/primaite/{VERSION}
python3 -m venv .venv
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
cd ~\primaite\{VERSION}
python3 -m venv .venv
attrib +h .venv /s /d # Hides the .venv directory
3. Activate the venv
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
source .venv/bin/activate
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
4. Install PrimAITE from your saved wheel file
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
pip install path/to/your/primaite.whl[rl]
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
pip install path\to\your\primaite.whl
5. Perform the PrimAITE setup
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
primaite setup
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
primaite setup
Clone & Install PrimAITE for Development
****************************************
To be able to extend PrimAITE further, or to build wheels manually before install, clone the repository to a location
of your choice:
1. Clone the repository.
For example:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/{todo:fill in URL}/PrimAITE
cd primaite
2. Create and activate your Python virtual environment (venv)
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
python3 -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
3. Install PrimAITE with the dev extra
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
pip install -e .[dev,rl]
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
pip install -e .[dev,rl]
To view the complete list of packages installed during PrimAITE installation, go to the dependencies page (:ref:`Dependencies`).
4. Set PrimAITE to run on development mode
Running step 3 should have installed PrimAITE, verify this by running
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
primaite setup
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
primaite setup
To set PrimAITE to run in development mode:
.. code-block:: bash
:caption: Unix
primaite dev-mode enable
.. code-block:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
primaite dev-mode enable
