Getting Started
===============
**Getting Started with PrimAITE**
Pre-Requisites
In order to get **PrimAITE** installed, you will need to have a python version between 3.8 and 3.10 installed. If you don't already have it, this is how to install it:
.. tabs:: lang
.. code-tab:: 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-tab:: 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.
Install PrimAITE
****************
1. Create a primaite directory in your home directory:
.. tabs:: lang
.. code-tab:: bash
:caption: Unix
mkdir ~/primaite
.. code-tab:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
mkdir ~\primaite
2. Navigate to the primaite directory and create a new python virtual environment (venv)
.. tabs:: lang
.. code-tab:: bash
:caption: Unix
cd ~/primaite
python3 -m venv .venv
.. code-tab:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
cd ~\primaite
python3 -m venv .venv
attrib +h .venv /s /d # Hides the .venv directory
3. Activate the venv
.. tabs:: lang
.. code-tab:: bash
:caption: Unix
source .venv/bin/activate
.. code-tab:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
.\.venv\Scripts\activate
4. Install PrimAITE using pip from PyPi
.. tabs:: lang
.. code-tab:: bash
:caption: Unix
pip install primaite

:caption: Unix
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
.. code-tab:: powershell
:caption: Windows (Powershell)
