⚠️ Basic shell skills required

⚠️ Some git skills required

• See Forking projects

⚠️ Python 3 🐍 required

$ which python3
/usr/local/bin/python3

If you do not have python3 installed anywhere, see The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To Python to learn how to properly install Python 3.

Linux

TBD—but should be a lot like Mac OS X (which is a unix-like OS)

Mac OS X

1. Install Apple Command Line Tools to build python

   Accept license and install Xcode

   $ sudo xcode-select install

2. Install python with Homebrew

   $ brew install python

   $ which python3
   /usr/local/bin/python3

   $ python3 --version
   Python 3.9.1

   $ python3 -m site --user-base
   /Users/steve/Library/Python/3.9

3. Ensure pip3 package installer is available

   Note: I had a copy of /usr/local/bin/pip that I had to remove—maybe from a previous installation(?)

   $ which pip3
   /usr/local/bin/pip

   $ pip3 --version
   pip 20.3.1 from 
   /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pip (python 3.9)

4. Install virtualenv dependency manager to isolate your python apps from other environments

   $ pip3 install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

   $ virtualenv --version
   virtualenv 20.2.2 from
   /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py

5. Create a venv for your project

   $ mkvirtualenv --python=`which python3` moo

   [moo]$ which python
   /Users/steve/.virtualenvs/moo/bin/python

   [moo]$ python --version
   Python 3.9.1

   To remove a venv:

   [moo]$ deactivate
   $ rmvirtualenv moo

6. Work on project:

   $ workon moo
   [moo]$ 

Windows

TBD
