Installation
Note
For installation inside DLS, please see the internal documentation on
dls-python3
and pipenv
. Although these instructions will work
inside DLS, they are intended for external use.
If you want to contribute to the library itself, please follow the Contributing instructions.
Check your version of python
You will need python 3.7 or later. You can check your version of python by typing into a terminal:
python3 --version
Create a virtual environment
It is recommended that you install into a “virtual environment” so this installation will not interfere with any existing Python software:
python3 -m venv /path/to/venv
source /path/to/venv/bin/activate
Installing the library
You can now use pip
to install the library:
python3 -m pip install dls-python3-skeleton
If you require a feature that is not currently released you can also install from github:
python3 -m pip install git+git://github.com/dls-controls/dls-python3-skeleton.git
The library should now be installed and the commandline interface on your path. You can check the version that has been installed by typing:
dls-python3-skeleton --version
