Contents

• api : Source code for the Flask API and Huey queueing system for managing parallel compute.
• production (Deprecation Warning) : This directory contains scripts used by the development team for testing ripple1d outside of the API. The contents are not included in the PyPi package and may not be stable or up to date.
• ripple1d: Source code for the ripple1d library.
• tests: Unit tests.up

Requirements

OS Dependency: Ripple requires Python version >=3.10 and a Windows environment with Desktop Experience (GUI, not a headless Windows server) and HEC-RAS installed (currently version 6.3.1 is supported).

Installing Ripple

NOTE: Using a python virtual environment is not required but is highly recommended.

Using pip

Activate virtual environment as shown below and install the ripple1d package using pip using PowerShell:

    pip install ripple1d

Verify the Installation

Verify the installation by importing ripple1d in a Python shell:

    python
