Set up the virtual environment and install tools
cd ~/work-gh/mrva/mrvahepc python3.11 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install --upgrade pip # From requirements.txt pip install -r requirements.txt # Or explicitly pip install ipython
-
Local development
cd ~/work-gh/mrva/mrvahepc source venv/bin/activate pip install --editable .
The `–editable` should use symlinks for all scripts; use `./bin/*` to be sure.
-
Full installation
pip install mrvahepc
Use as library
The best way to examine the code is starting from the high-level scripts
in bin/.
