Getting Started¶
Getting the source code¶
To get a copy of the code, you need to clone the git repository (either via SSH or HTTPS) from GitHub. Once you have done this, go inside the top-level folder of the repository.
cd ess
Creating a development environment¶
To install all non-optional dependencies for a complete development environment,
we recommend creating a conda environment from the environment.yml file.
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate ess-developer
Once you have activated the environment, you want to pip install it locally using
python -m pip install -e .
Building Documentation¶
To build the documentation:
cd docs
sphinx-build -b html . build
This will build the documentation inside the docs/build folder.
If rebuilding the documentation is slow it can be quicker to remove the docs build
directory and start a fresh build.
