Installation of packages

It is recommended to setup a virtual environment in order to use specific versions of Python packages. The following instructions will help you in setting up the virtual environment with the help of Poetry. If you want to use a different software you can find the required packages in pyproject.toml under [tool.poetry.dependencies].

Virtual environment with Poetry

• Install Poetry:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-poetry/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

• Recommended: Configure Poetry it in order to create a virtual environment in a .venv folder inside the project directory:

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

• cd in project directory.
• Create the virtual environment and install Python packages and dependencies:

poetry install

• Activate the virtual environment:

Linux:

source .venv/bin/activate

Windows:

.venv\Scripts\activate
