Basic installation

Follow the steps below if you will use idmtools to run and analyze simulations, but will not make source code changes.

1. Open a command prompt and create a virtual environment in any directory you choose. The command below names the environment “emodpy”, but you may use any desired name:

   python -m venv emodpy
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   • On Windows, enter the following:

     emodpy\Scripts\activate
     

   • On Linux, enter the following:

     source emodpy/bin/activate
     

3. Install idmtools packages:

   pip install emodpy --index-url=https://packages.idmod.org/api/pypi/pypi-production/simple
   

4. Verify installation by pulling up idmtools help:

   emodpy --help
   

5. When you are finished, deactivate the virtual environment by entering the following at a command prompt:

   deactivate
