Installing Radio Dreams¶
radio-dreams is designed to install cleanly with a single invocation of the standard Python package tool
pip install radio-dreams
radio-dreams can also be installed manually from it’s github repository
git clone https://github.com/amanchokshi/radio-dreams.git
cd radio-dreams
pip install .
These methods will install radio-dreams and the small collection of Python libraries that radio-dreams depends on. Using a virtual environment is suggested as it prevents errors from conflicting dependancies
The radio-dreams package can now be imported with import radio_dreams
Pyenv virtual environment¶
radio-dreams supports Python 3.7+. Using a pyenv environment is an elegant route to the correct python version. Install pyenv with the instructions at https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/. Now, to install the correct version of python and make a virtual environment
# Install python version 3.8.3
pyenv install 3.8.3
# Create a virtual environment called radio-dreams
# env located at ~/.pyenv/versions/radio-dreams
pyenv virtualenv 3.8.3 radio-dreams
# virtual env automatically activated when in radio-dreams
# Link the radio-dreams dir with the virtual env
# creates a .python-version file
python local radio-dreams
# Install the radio-dreams package & dependancies
pip install radio-dreams
Conda virtual environment¶
radio-dreams supports Python 3.7+. Using a conda environment is another way to make sure that the correct version of Python is used. Begin by installing either Anaconda or Miniconda. A conda environment called radio-dreams can be created as follows
conda create --name radio-dreams python=3.8
conda activate radio-dreams
pip install radio-dreams
Python virtual environment¶
Alternately, if you already have a correct version of Python installed, you can create a venv called radio-dreams within which radio-dreams and it’s dependancies are cleanly installed
python -m venv radio-dreams
source radio-dreams/bin/activate
pip install radio-dreams
