Installation

This page contains instructions for installing the required dependencies on a local computer.

Instructor note

• 5 min to initialize the setup and conda / pip command

• Let conda env create / pip install run in the background

Local installation

If you already have a preferred way to manage Python versions and libraries, you can stick to that[1]. If not, we recommend that you install Python3 and all libraries using Miniforge, a free minimal installer for the package, dependency and environment manager conda.

Please follow the installation instructions on https://conda-forge.org/download/ to install Miniforge.

Make sure that both Python and conda are correctly installed:

$ python --version
$ # should give something like Python 3.12.5
$ conda --version
$ # should give something like conda 24.7.1

With conda (or mamba) installed, install the required dependencies by running:

$ conda env create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ENCCS/python-perf/main/content/env/environment.yml

This will create a new environment python-perf which you need to activate by:

$ conda activate python-perf

Finally, open Jupyter-Lab in your browser:

$ jupyter-lab

If you are not using conda, to install the right Python dependencies, download the requirements.txt file from this link. Then follow this guide to create a virtual environment and activate it. Finally inside the virtual environment run python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt.
