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
