python -m venv venv

Then install the measury package from source

pip install .

To run Measury simply by using the run.py file (which shows detailed logs)

python run.py

or via

import measury
measury.run()

Running tests

To run tests you will need to install pytest as well

pip install pytest

Then, simply calling pytest will run the tests. For the graphical tests a display server has to be installed on the system.

pytest     
#or

Compiling

To compile this project it is advised to use pyinstaller.

It is important to use Pyinstaller >= 6.0.0

This guides you through all steps that are needed for running it. First, pyinstaller should be installed via pip or conda

pip install pyinstaller 
# or with conda
conda install -c conda-forge pyinstaller

Finally, run the compiling script which calls pyinstaller

python compile.py

This will result in a folder dist where the compiled project will be placed.

The compile.py script has the option to create a compressed .zip file of the project. You can set

zipped = True

to achieve this behavior.
