Setting up your Environment

If you want to work on this program the setup is different from just running it, which should ideally only require an executable file.

Get python working

There is a good chance this is already working on your system. Check if either python --version or pip --version return an error. If these work you can skip this step.

If you have access to Spack you get one by running spack load -first python. Else you can also use your package manager of choice.

Setting up the venv

It is generally not recommended to install python dependencies globally since this might mess up your environment.

python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
