• [Anaconda 2.7](https://www.continuum.io/downloads)

Clone this repository

• Open a terminal

• Change directory to where you would like to clone this repository

#### Environment

The below will create a python environment called fono-env. If you want a different environment name, open environment.yml and change the first line

Open a terminal and run the following

cd ~/GitRepos/fono # Or change directory to the root of the folder conda env create -f environment.yml

## Run

#### Activate the environment

• Open a terminal, and change directory to the root of the folder

• Run the following to activate an environment

  source activate fono-env

• Run the following to find the optimal order using input in a folder

  python fono/run.py –folder fono/data

OR

• Run the following to find the optimal order using input from individual files

  python fono/run.py –quantity fono/data/quantity.csv –price fono/data/price.csv –shipping fono/data/shipping.csv

Three files are required to find the optimal order

• prices.csv

• quantity.csv

• shipping.csv

Prices contains the price of an item when purchased from a website.

Quantity contains the number of items required.

Shipping contains the shipping cost from the individual websites.

## Troubleshooting

• Names of items in quantity.csv has to match prices.csv

• Names of websites in shipping.csv has to match prices.csv

• Remove all empty lines
