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 stride-env
   

3. Activate the virtual environment.

   UNIXWindows

   $ source stride-env/bin/activate
   

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

4. Install the Python package stride.

   httpssh

   $ git clone https://github.com/dsgrid/stride.git
   

   Note

   The “editable” installation option is required.

   $ pip install -e stride
