Apollo CAD

Hi there!

You're looking at the really early prototype of the Apollo CAD analysis. May the force be with you in your endevour!

Development Environment

Most of the prototypes were done in iPython Jupyter notebooks, so having that is recommended. Further, make sure you work in a virtual-environment to let your imagination fly and the packages do not conflict.

To install the requirements, simply execute pip install -r requirements.txt. This will also install iPython packages.

Virtual Environment Kernel

To allow Jupyter to work in your safe place virtual environment, create a Kernel spec file within your jupyter configs. To do so, follow these handy steps:

• Generate some kernel spec. We'll be modifying it soon. Execute: python -m ipykernel install --user --name apollo-cad. This will install a kernel spec at ~/Library/Jupyter/kernels/apollo-cad.
• Open ~/Library/Jupyter/kernels/apollo-cad/kernel.json in your fav editor and simply update the first entry within argv prop so it points to the Python executable in your virtual environment instead. For lazy, type which python while the venv is activated.
