How to get tempcf

There are a few ways to get tempcf running on your computer.

Install from pip

You can install tempcf with pip:

pip install tempcf

Then you can run it from the command line with:

tempcf

Running pre-compiled executables

As an alternative to command-line installation, its possible to download the latest files from the Releases page of the GitLab repository. This requires no coding experience whatsoever, but only works on Windows and Linux at the moment. These also won't be the most up-to-date versions.

If you are familiar with python and would rather run tempf from the source code, follow the instructions below. This is the preferred option if you intend to contribute, or if you want to make any modifications.

Install from source

Step 1: Download the files

git clone https://gitlab.com/permafrostnet/permafrost-tempcf

Step 2: Create a virtual environment

This makes sure that the python packages that get installed don't conflict with other python packages you might have installed. On Mac or Linux, make sure to replace '' with '/' in the last line.

cd permafrost-tempcf
python -m venv env
.\env\Scripts\activate 

Step 3: Install tempcf

These commands will install the required dependencies, and launch tempcf

python setup.py install
cd tempcf
python main.py
