BEERS_UTILS

Installation using python virtual environments

Make sure you have the following installed on your system:

• git
• python version 3.10

Clone the BEERS_UTILS git repository into a convenient location:

git clone git@github.com:itmat/BEERS_UTILS.git

At the moment, there is no need to setup BEERS_UTILS in its own virtual environment. This package provides support to others in the BEERS suite rather than any sort of functionality by itself. It's probably better to install this package in the virtual environment you've created for another package in the BEERS suite. To do this, activate the virtual environment in which you want to install BEERS_UTILS, and then run the following command:

pip install -e /path/to/BEERS_UTILS

This takes the BEERS_UTILS directory, packages it and creates a link to the packaged version in <virtualenv>/lib/python3.10/site-packages. This allows python to find the beers_utils package and subpackages from this virtual environment.
