Installation methods

Besides the base requirements, these methods can optionally depend on git and/or using a virtualenv
If you have multiple python applications on your system, using a virtualenv is recommended.

Source Installation​

  1. Download the zip of the desired source branch (master / python3-dev):
  2. Unpack in the directory of your choice
  3. See install requirements

Git Installation​

  1. Open up a command prompt/shell.
  2. If the directory does not exist in the location where you want the program files to be located, create it.
  3. Clone the chosen repository into the given directory once you've changed into the directory:
    • stable - git clone -b master git@github.com:mylar3/mylar3.git
    • development - git clone -b python3-dev git@github.com:mylar3/mylar3.git
  4. See install requirements

Installation requirements​

From a command prompt/shell, change directory into the mylar installation.

Install the requirements with pip pip3 install -r requirements.txt

WINDOWS USERS - If the above fails, run py -m pip install -r requirements.txt.

Done. What now?​
