To set up the project, run the following commands in your terminal:

• pip install virtualenv
• pip install virtualenvwrapper
• export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
• mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME

As part of the install instructions for virtualenvwrapper, you need to add this to your ~/.bash_profile file:

• source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Then, run this command in your terminal:

• source ~/.bash_profile

Virtualenvwrapper makes it easy to keep several virtual environments. To make things even easier, it's suggested that you add these lines to your ~/.bash_profile file (http://blog.doughellmann.com/2010/01/virtualenvwrapper-tips-and-tricks.html).

alias v='workon'
alias v.deactivate='deactivate'
alias v.mk='mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages'
alias v.mk_withsitepackages='mkvirtualenv'
alias v.rm='rmvirtualenv'
alias v.switch='workon'
alias v.add2virtualenv='add2virtualenv'
alias v.cdsitepackages='cdsitepackages'
alias v.cd='cdvirtualenv'
alias v.lssitepackages='lssitepackages'

Then, create a virtual environment by running this in your terminal:

• v.mk venv

or

• mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages venv

if you haven't updated the aliases in your ~/.bash_profile file.

This creates and virtual environment and makes it active. To deactivate it, you can simply type:

• deactivate

Next, install the requirements for this project by running the following command in the FYDP project directory:

• pip install -r requirements.txt

You're done with the setup!

To work with the project, first activate the virtual environment:

• v venv

Then, run main.py:

• src/bin/run

To deactivate it, you can simply type:

• deactivate

If you run into errors with PIL while installing the requirements, run:

• pip install PIL --allow-external PIL --allow-unverified PIL

and run pip install -r requirements.txt again.
