pip install pbparam

We strongly recommend using virtual environments, see more detailed instructions below (steps 1 and 2).

Install from source

Another option is to install from source. This is not recommended, unless you want to make edits to the code.

The first step is to install virtualenv in order to create virtual environments

pip install virtualenv

The module dependencies are listed in pyproject.toml, the dependancies which are non optional which are installed with the package.

The optional dependancies are split into dev and docs. dev are used for testing and linting, docs are used for building the sphinx documentation.

Linux & MacOS

1. Create a virtual environment (this is strongly recommended to avoid clashes with the dependencies)

   virtualenv --python="<path to python 3.11>" env
   

2. Activate the virtual environment

   source env/bin/activate
   

   The virtual environment can later be deactivated (if needed) by running

   deactivate
   

3. Install packages into the virtual envronment

   pip install -e ./[dev,docs]
   

Windows

1. Create a virtual environment (this is strongly recommended to avoid clashes with the dependencies)

   python -m virtualenv env
   

2. Activate the virtual environment

   env\Scripts\activate.bat
   

   The virtual environment can later be deactivated (if needed) by running
