Installation

From PyPI

First create a new virtual environment and activate it or activate desired virtual environment.

Now install the optimization-problem-inspector from PyPI with

pip install optimization-problem-inspector

NOTE This install works only for certain Linux distributions! You may have to re-compile for your distribution or Windows/Mac. See Installing bbob_functions for more info.

From source

You can also install the package from source. The project is hosted at:

• https://repo.ijs.si/DIS-CI/optimization-problem-inspector

Download the repo and cd to it. Create a fresh virtual environment with python 3.9 or higher, e.g.,

python -m venv .venv

Activate it with something like

# in Linux/Unix
source .venv/bin/activate

Now install the package with (use -e flag to make and editable install if desired)

pip install -e .

This will make the package available in the currently activated virtual environment.

Using hatch

You can also use hatch to manage dependencies and get some additional extra functionality. After cd-ing to the project directory, you can run

hatch run python

to start Python3 shell with optimization-problem-inspector installed.

Installing bbob_functions

You may have to re-compile for your Linux distribution or Windows/Mac. Go to the virtual environment folders created by venv tool or your virtual environment manager of choice and find the bbob_functions directory. Usually something like .../envs/opi-test/lib/python3.1/site-packages/optimization_problem_inspector/bbob_functions or similar. Note, this is relevant only if you did not invoke editable install (i.e., you have not installed the package by cloning the repo or obtained the source in some way and executed pip install -e . - using -e flag). With your virtual environment activated, you can now re-build the bbob_functions module with

python install_bbob_functions.py build_ext -i

Using hatch

If using hatch, building bbob_functions is much easier, go to project directory and invoke

hatch run build_bbob_functions

Running GUI

To run the optimization-problem-inspector GUI after installation process has completed, type command

opi-gui

You can also run the GUI with

python -m optimization_problem_inspector.app

Note: the desired virtual environment with optimization-problem-inspector has to be activated.

Note: use python or python3 command, depending on what executables you have available for Python3.
