Installation¶
This guide describes how to install midas on Linux, OS-X, and Windows.
Linux¶
This guide is based on Manjaro 20.1.1 Mikah, 64bit, but this should for work for other distributions as well.
The midas package requires Python >= 3.6. We recommend to use a virtualenv to avoid messing up your system environment. Use your distributions’ package manager to install pip and virtualenv.
$ virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/midas
$ source ~/.virtualenv/midas/bin/activate
If your distribution still relies on Python 2.x, make sure that you actually create a virtualenv environment for Python 3.
$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 ~/.virtualenvs/midas
$ source ~/.virtualenv/midas/bin/activate
Now you can install midas from the pypi package repository
(midas) $ pip install midas # TODO insert pypi name
or from the source code.
(midas) $ pip install git+https://gitlab.com/midas-mosaik/midas.git
Finally, you can test your installation by typing:
(midas) $ midascli -v
into the console, which should print the current version number of midas.
