## Getting Started

[Example Notebooks](https://github.com/finos/perspective/tree/master/python/perspective/examples)

## Developing To build perspective-python from source, you’ll need the following C++ dependencies:

• Python 3.7

• numpy

• CMake

• PyBind11

• tbb

On MacOS, you should be able to install Boost, PyBind11, and tbb from brew:

`shell brew install pybind11 tbb `

And then install Python dependencies using pip:

`shell python3 -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt `

Then run yarn build, and if a .perspectiverc config file has not been created yet, you’ll be taken through the yarn setup script. On the Focus section, type p for python, and continue through the script. Run yarn build again, and the python build should begin.

If you already have a .perspectiverc and want to reset your build configuration, simply run yarn setup.

Once the build successfully completes, run yarn test_python from the project root in order to verify operation.
