investigraph requires at least Python 3.11

pip install investigraph

example datasets

There is a dedicated repo for example datasets built with investigraph.

deployment

docker

docker-compose.yml for local development / testing, use docker-compose.prod.yml as a starting point for a production setup. More instructions here

run locally

Install app and dependencies (use a virtualenv):

pip install investigraph

Or, e.g. when using poetry:

poetry add investigraph

After installation, investigraph as a command should be available:

investigraph --help

Quick run a local dataset definition:

investigraph run -c ./path/to/config.yml

View prefect dashboard:

make server

development

This package is using poetry for packaging and dependencies management, so first install it.

Clone investigraph repository to a local destination.

Within the root directory, run

poetry install --with dev

This installs a few development dependencies, including pre-commit which needs to be registered:

poetry run pre-commit install

Before creating a commit, this checks for correct code formatting (isort, black) and some other useful stuff (see: .pre-commit-config.yaml)

test

make test
