Environment

VOLTTRON_HOME

Setup VOLTTRON_HOME environment variable: export VOLTTRON_HOME=/path/to/volttron_home/dir.

This is madatory if you have/had in the past, a monolithic VOLTTRON version that used the default VOLTTRON_HOME $HOME/.volttron. Modular version of VOLTTRON cannot work with volttron_home used by monolithic version of VOLTTRON(version 8.3 or earlier)

Poetry

VOLTTRON uses Poetry, a dependency management and packaging tool for Python. If you don't have Poetry installed on your machine, follow these steps to install it on your machine.

To check if Poetry is installed, run poetry --version. If you receive the error 'command not found: poetry', add the following line to your '~/.bashrc' script: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin.

Recommended configuration for poetry

By default, poetry creates a virtual environment in {cache-dir}/virtualenvs. To configure 'poetry' to create the virtualenv inside this project's root directory, run the following command:

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true

Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/eclipse-volttron/volttron-core -b develop
   

2. cd into volttron-core directory

   cd volttron-core
   

3. Install volttron into the current directory

   poetry install
   

4. Run tests

   poetry run pytest
   

5. Activate environment (removes the need for add poetry run to all commands)

   poetry shell
   

6. Run volttron

   volttron -vv -l volttron.log &>/dev/null &
   

Using modules to run VOLTTRON

In order to run VOLTTRON from within an ide the recommended way is to run the platform using the modules

> poetry shell
> python -m volttron.server -vv -l volttron.log &
> python -m volttron.commands.control -vv status
