Install with pip, via git: Install from PyPI with pip:
```bash ```bash
pip install git+https://mpxd.net/code/jan/meanas.git@release pip3 install 'meanas[test,examples]'
``` ```
### Development install
Install python3.7 and virtualenv:
```bash
# This is for Debian/Ubuntu/other-apt-based systems; you may need an alternative command
sudo apt install python3.7 virtualenv build-essential python3.7-dev
```
If python 3.7 is not your default python3 version, create a virtualenv:
```bash
# Check python3 version:
python3 --version
# output: Python 3.7.5rc1
# Create a virtual environment using python3.7 and place it in the directory `venv/`
virtualenv -p python3.7 venv
```
In-place development install:
```bash
# Download using git
git clone --branch ongoing https://mpxd.net/code/jan/fdfd_tools.git meanas/
# NOTE: In the future this will become
#git clone https://mpxd.net/code/jan/meanas.git
# If you are using a virtualenv, activate it
source venv/bin/activate
# Install in-place (-e, editable) from ./meanas, including testing and example dependencies ([test, examples])
pip3 install --user -e './meanas[test,examples]'
# Run tests
python3 -m pytest
```
