This is a Python tool that provides a python module and command-line interface for source-code stylometry.

This tool is under active development and is neither properly documented, nor entirely functional at this stage. We have attempted to document commands and functions in-line, but as the system is rapidly evolving, not all functionality is documented properly and not all components will work as intended.

Type help into the prompt to get a list of available commands. Most of these are documented as well and a brief (and probably unhelpful) description of each command can be accessed via 'help '.

This tool requires Python 3 and certain Python packages to run. The best way to set this up is by creating a virtual environment to run the tool within. This can be done as follows:

1. Upgrade pip and install virtualenv if needed.

   python3 -m pip install -U --upgrade pip
   python3 -m pip install -U virtualenv # if conda isn't being used

2. Create your virtual environment.

   python3 -m virtualenv path_to_env/ # not using Conda
   conda create -n my_env python=3    # using Conda

   Replace path_to_env/ with the location where you'd like to store your enviromnent files. If you're using conda, replace my_env with the name you'd like to assign to your environment.

3. Install all the necessary packages and their requirements. These can be found in the requirements.txt file in this repository.

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Activate your environment.

   source path_to_env/bin/activate # not using Conda
   source activate my_env          # Conda
