Installation

Using Pip

The simplest way to install PETPAL is using pip. First, ensure you are using Python version >=3.12. Then, run the following:

pip install petpal

Build from source

Clone the repository using your preferred method. After navigating to the top-level directory (where pyproject.toml exists), we run the following command in the terminal:

pip install .  # Installs the package

If you are going to be actively developing and making changes to the package source code, it is recommended to instead do:

pip install -e .  # Installs the package as symlinks to the source code

make clean
make html 

Then, open $src/docs/build/html/index.html using any browser or your IDE.
