The easiest way to use Volatile is to:

  • open this notebook;
  • depending on your OS, press ctrl+s or cmd+s to save it as a .ipynb file (make sure not to save it as a .txt file, which is the default option);
  • upload the notebook on Google Colab and run it.

Alternatively, you can download Volatile locally. First, open a terminal and go to the directory where you intend to install Volatile. On a Mac or Linux, you can do so by typing

cd path/to/your/directory

If you are fine installing Volatile in your home directory, instead of the command before you can just type cd. Then, download Volatile from Github and get in its main directory by typing

git clone https://github.com/gianlucadetommaso/volatile.git
cd volatile

We recommend to activate a virtual environment. Type

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv venv 
source venv/bin/activate

Now that you are in your virtual environment, install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Done! You're all set to use Volatile.
