Apache-TrafficControl 3.1.0

Local Installation

The preferred method is to use pip to install locally. Starting from the repository’s root directory, the following script should do the job:

cd traffic_control/clients/python
pip install .

# The above will install using the system's default Python interpreter - to use a specific
# version it will be necessary to specify the interpreter and pass the 'pip' module to it.
# e.g. for the system's default Python 2 interpreter, typically one would do:
# sudo -H /usr/bin/env python3 -m pip install .

# Developers may wish to use the '-e' flag. This will install the package 'edit-ably',
# meaning that changes made to the package within the repository structure will be effected on
# the system-wide installation.
# sudo -H pip install -e .

# If your system does not have 'pip', but does (somehow) have 'setuptools' as well
# as the package's dependencies, you can call 'setup.py' directly to install the
# package for the system's default Python 3 interpreter
# sudo -H ./setup.py install

The local installation method requires pip and setuptools. setuptools should be installed if your system has pip, but if you are missing either of them they can both be relatively easily installed with Python standard libraries.

# Here I'm using 'python' because that points to a Python 3 interpreter on my system. You may
# wish to use 'python3' instead.
sudo -H python -m ensure_pip
sudo -H python -m pip install -U pip

# If your system's 'python' already has 'pip', then you may skip to this step to
# install only 'setuptools'
sudo -H python -m pip install setuptools

Development Dependencies

To install the development dependencies, first ensure that your system has pip and setuptools then use pip to install the development environment.

pip install -e .[dev]
