About

Python Notebook in Jupyter that will generate a series of unique images using a collection of layers.

1. Getting Started on MacOS
2. Getting Started on Windows

Getting Started on MacOS

1. Install HomeBrew

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

2. Install Python

brew install python 

3. Look where python is installed

ls -l /usr/local/bin/python*

The output is something like this:

lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  34 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  41 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3-config -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3-config
lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  36 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3.9 -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3.9
lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  43 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3.9-config -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3.9-config
lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  37 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3.9m -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3.9m
lrwxr-xr-x  1 arag0re  admin  44 Sep 01 16:32 /usr/local/bin/python3.9m-config -> ../Cellar/python/3.9.6/bin/python3.9m-config

4. Change the default python symlink to the version you want to use from above. Note that, we only need to choose the one that end with python3.*.

ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python3.9 /usr/local/bin/python

5. Check for installed python version

python --version

The output should be:

Python 3.9.6

6. Install PIP

sudo python -m ensurepip --default-pip

7. Update PIP

sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user   

8. Install Python Pillow

python -m pip install pillow --user

9. Install Python Display

python -m pip install display --user

10. Install Jupyter Notebook

python -m pip install jupyter --user

11. Add current PythonPath as PATH variable to .zshrc or .bashrc

export PATH=/Users/<username>/Library/Python/3.9/bin:$PATH

12. Run Jupyter in your nft-generator folder

jupyter notebook

13. Run the commands in [generate.ipynb] to generate images.

14. First time you run notebook, it will ask you to install ipykernel, accept this.

15. If the program executes successfully, it will output all the generated images to the /images folder, and the metadata to the /metadata folder. The filenames will refer to tokenIds.

Getting Started on Windows

1. Install Chocolatey

2. Install Python by running cmd.exe as Admin and executing the following command:

choco install python

3. Install Python Pillow

pip install pillow

4. Install Python Display
