Installation

Getting Started

Install a Python <= 3.8.x version using pyenv (recommended)

Windows

# With Chocolatey
choco install pyenv-win

Linux

# With pyenv-installer
curl https://pyenv.run | bash

MacOS

# With homebrew
brew update
brew install pyenv

Check if pyenv was installed sucessfully, and if not got any error in this project

# Warning: Check if not got any error
pyenv rehash

Install same Python version inside of the file .python-version

cd [project-folder]

# Loads local version from .python-version file
pyenv local

# PS: The 3.8.2 Python version is latest available in Pyenv for Windows. 
# On Unix systems, is possible install 3.8.8, for example.
pyenv install 3.8.2

# Check the installed version
python --version

Create a Virtual Environment to store the packages dependencies, and activate it

python -m venv venv

# Activate

# Windows
.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

# Unix systems
./venv/Scripts/activate

Install all dependencies

pip install -r .\requirements-dev.txt

Configure Pycharm (Optional)

Define your interpreter in your preferable IDE (Visual Studio, VSCode...) from the virtual environment. In this case, we are using Pycharm as example:

  1. Click on File => Settings => Python Interpeter
  2. Add your interpreter from your virtual environment (recommended)
  3. If you prefer, download from the official python.org FTP clicking on "New enviroment", as showed in the picture below
