Installation Process¶
It’s very simple to install PADE in your computer or embedded device, although an internet connection it’s necessary.
Installing PADE using PIP¶
To install PADE framework using pip, you should type this command in a Unix like terminal:
$ pip install pade
Ready! PADE has been installed!
Installing PADE using Github¶
If you want to take a look in the PADE source code, you will need to clone the official PADE GitHub repository, typing the following commands in the terminal:
$ git clone https://github.com/grei-ufc/pade
$ cd pade
$ python setup.py install
Ready! PADE is istalled now. You can make a test and try to execute a example in the examples folder from the PADE source code. Type this commands:
pade start_runtime --port 20000 agent_example_1.py
PADE in a Python Virtual Environment¶
When you work with Python modules is important to know how create and manipulate virtual environments for managing project dependencies in a more ordenated way. Here we will show how you could create a Python virtual environment, activate it and use the pip commandto install PADE framework. For a more specific view about Python virtual environments take a look at: Python Guide.
First, you will need the virtualenv installed in your PC. Install it typing:
$ pip install virtualenv
After installing virtualenv it’s time to create an virtual environment, using the following command:
$ cd my_project_folder
$ virtualenv venv
To activate the virtual environment, type:
$ source venv/bin/activate
Now, you can install PADE from pip or GitHub repository:
$ pip install pade
Note
You can use the excellent Python distribution for numeric and scientific computation Anaconda. See how to do this here: AnacondaInc.
