Getting started

Prerequisites

System requirements

To run the plain2code client, you need Python 3.11 or a later version.

Windows users: Please install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) as this is currently the supported environment for running plain code on Windows.

Authorization - Codeplain API Key

We are using Codeplain API Key to authorize requests to the Codeplain API. To get your Codeplain API Key, please contact Codeplain.ai support at [e-mail].

In order to generate code, you need to export the following environment variable:

export CODEPLAIN_API_KEY="your_actual_api_key_here"

Installation Steps

1. Clone this repository
2. Set your Codeplain API key as an environment variable:

   export CODEPLAIN_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

3. (Recommended) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   

4. Install required libraries

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Quick Start

After completing the installation steps above, you can immediately test the system with a simple "Hello World" example:

• Change to the example folder and run the example:

  cd examples/example_hello_world_python
  python ../../plain2code.py hello_world_python.plain
  

  Note: Rendering will take a few minutes to complete.

• The system will generate a Python application in the build directory. You can run it with:

  cd build
  python hello_world.py
