Project Summary

Developer Quick Start

Prerequisites

• VSCode (IDE)
• UV (Python Development Tool)
• Git (and GitHub)

VSCode/UV install for Windows

1. Install WSL and VSCode by following these instructions. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/wsl

   • Install the WSL with the Ubuntu distribution

2. Install UV on the WSL side (Do not install it on the Windows side)

   Open an WSL terminal (Ubuntu), navigate to the $HOME directory, run the install script. console cd ~ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

VSCode/UV install for MacOS and Linux

1. Install VSCode for your OS. https://code.visualstudio.com/Download

2. Install UV (from the terminal) console cd ~ curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Install git (from the terminal)

Install Git

It is likely that git is already installed on your system. To check if you have git install, run this command in your terminal: console git --version

If you do not get a version message, install it by with your systems installers:

(For WSL/Linux with an Ubuntu/debian distribution) console sudo apt install git-all

(For MacOS, If you don't have brew, install it https://brew.sh/) console brew install git

Set up the Project Folder

Open a terminal. Create a "projects" directory from your $HOME directory. console cd ~ mkdir projects/

Clone the Project Repository

First, navigate to your projects folder console cd ~/projects/

From the browser, navigate to the GitHub repository for your project. Clone the project by clicking the green "Code" button. Select "HTTPS" and copy the line in the text box.

On your terminal, navigate to the projects folder and clone the repository.

console cd ~/projects/ git clone https://github.com/chaconnb/NSC325_GROUP1.git # this is an example

Navigate to the newly cloned repository and open VSCode from the repository root folder. console cd ~/projects/<your-repo-name> code .

Set up Development Environment

With UV installed, you can set up the development environment by running this command in the project root directory: console uv sync This will set up a Python virtual environment and install any dependencies listed in the pyproject.toml. To activate the virtual environment on your terminal, run: console source .venv/bin/activate

Setting up a local Jupyter Notebook

You can use VSCode to run Jupyter notebooks. Read the VSCode docs for more information. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/datascience/jupyter-notebooks

You will need to set up the kernel. We suggest you use the local virtual environment we set up with UV. Follow these instructions on how to use your virtual environment in your

Jupyter notebook. VSCode should find and identify the project's virtual environment folder and recommend it (i.e., it should be .venv/bin/python)
