Installation

This page provides a step-by-step guide to installing a Python project using a requirements.txt file. This file lists the project's dependencies, making it easier to set up the environment and ensure that all necessary packages are installed.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that you have the following installed on your system:

• Python: Make sure Python 3.9 (or above) is installed. You can download it from python.org.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to install your project dependencies using requirements.txt:

1. Download or Clone the Project

First, obtain the project repository. You can either download it as a ZIP file or clone it from a version control system.

Example using Git:

git clone https://github.com/deangeckt/network_motifs.git

2. Navigate to the Project Directory

Open a terminal or command prompt and change to the directory containing the requirements.txt file.

cd network_motifs

3. (Optional) Create a Virtual Environment

It is recommended to create a virtual environment to manage dependencies separately from the system Python installation. This step is optional but helps to avoid conflicts with other Python projects.

Create a virtual environment:

python -m venv env

Activate the virtual environment:

• Windows:

  env\Scripts\activate

• macOS and Linux:

  source env/bin/activate

4. Install Dependencies

Once you are in the project directory (and optionally in a virtual environment), install the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file using pip.

pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Verify Installation

To verify that the dependencies have been installed correctly, you can list the installed packages and their versions:

pip list

This command should show the packages listed in the requirements.txt file.

Additional Resources

• pip Documentation
• Virtual Environments Documentation

By following these steps, you should be able to set up your Python project environment using requirements.txt efficiently. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, refer to the documentation of the specific packages or seek help from the project maintainers.
