Objective: Try our specialized workflows when creating a large-scale collection management project
1. (option 1) Install 'git' to clone the repository
- Windows: Download and install from Git for Windows.
- Clone the repository by using:
git clone [URL_OF_THE_REPOSITORY]
2. (option 2) Download specific files from the repository by clicking the 'Raw' button for the file
1. Install Python and configure PyCharm (suggested development environment, but there are many alternatives)
-
Download and install Python -- Windows user, we recommend that you install Python for Windows
-
Configure at least one Python interpreter
2. Install Required Libraries
- Before running the code, ensure that you have installed the required libraries by using 'pip'
pip install package-name
- Upgrade a package if needed
pip install --upgrade package-name
- Make a list of all installed packages
pip list
- Search for a package
pip search package-name
- Check for outdate packages
pip list --outdated
- Install packages from a requirements.txt file:
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Using a Virtual Environment
-
Use a virtual environment for your Python projects to manage dependencies. This prevents potential conflicts between package versions across different projects.
-
Install 'virtualebv'
pip install virtualenv
- Create a virtual environment
virtualenv myenv
- Activate the virtual environment (any package you install using pip will be installed in the virtual environment, not globally)
myenv\Scripts\activate
- Deactivate the virtual environment
myenv\Scripts\deactivate
