Getting started

To get started, you will need to create the nsc virtual environment.

1. Install Poetry (highly recommended)

$ pip install poetry

2. Create the nsc virtual environment

$ mkdir .venv
$ poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
$ poetry shell

If poetry did not automatically activate the virtual environment for you, you can do so manually with

$ source .venv/bin/activate

Note that will have to input the analogous command if you are not using the Unix terminal.

3. Install dependencies

$ poetry install --no-root

Alternative: Non-poetry installation involves the following steps in the root directory:

$ python3 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Without poetry, you are responsible for managing dependency versions.
