Eve contains a standard setup.py installation script which can be used to install the package with pip. The simplest way to start working with Eve is using the provided scripts in the scripts/ folder. The standard activate script will properly initialize the virtual environment if it does not exist yet:

git clone https://github.com/egparedes/eve.git
cd eve
source scripts/activate

If you know how to deal with virtual environments yourself, create first as usual a new environment for your project, and then clone the repository and install Eve (use editable mode if you plan to contribute to Eve):

# Create the virtual environment
python -m venv .eve.venv
source .eve.venv/bin/activate
pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/egparedes/eve.git

# Install the Python package directly from the local repository
# adding the '-e' flag to get an editable installation
pip install -e ./eve

# Finally, install the additional development tools
pip install -r ./eve/requirements_dev.txt

Tox, py.test and pre-commit (running several checks, including black formatter and flake8) are already configured and should run out of the box after installing the required development tools in requirements_dev.txt:

# Generate HTML documentation:
cd docs && make html

# Execute all the tests in the `tests` folder with py.test:
py.test -v ./tests

# Install pre-commit git hooks:
pre-commit install

# Or, alternatively, execute all pre-commit checks manually:
pre-commit run --all

Code editors supporting the Editorconfig standard should be automatically configured (settings in .editorconfig).
