Getting Started

Installation

  1. Install Python 3.11 or later.

  2. Create a Python 3.11+ virtual environment. This example uses the venv module in the standard library to create a virtual environment in your current directory. You may prefer a single python-envs in your home directory instead of the current directory. You may also prefer conda or mamba.

    $ python -m venv .venv
    
  3. Activate the virtual environment.

    $ source .venv/bin/activate
    

    Whenever you are done using stride, you can deactivate the environment by running deactivate.

  4. Install the Python package stride.

    $ pip install stride-load-forecast
