Pre-requisites

If you are using aliBuild directly from git clone, you should make sure you have the dependencies installed. The easiest way to do this is to run:

# Optional, make a venv so the dependencies are not installed globally
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Contributing

If you want to contribute to aliBuild, you can run the tests with:

# Optional, make a venv so the dependencies are not installed globally
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -e .[test] # Only needed once
tox

The test suite only runs fully on a Linux system, but there is a reduced suite for macOS, runnable with:

tox -e darwin

You can also run only the unit tests (it’s a lot faster than the full suite) with:

pytest

To run the documentation locally, you can use:

# Optional, make a venv so the dependencies are not installed globally
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies for the docs, check pyproject.toml for more info
pip install -e .[docs]

# Run the docs
cd docs
mkdocs serve
