Setting up a development environment

First, you need to fork the project. Then setup your environment:

# create a new conda environment
conda create -f environment-dev.yml
conda activate xeus-r

# download xeus-r from your GitHub fork
git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/xeus-r.git

You may also want to install a C++ compiler, and cmake from conda if they are not available on your system.

Building and installing xeus-r

# Create a directory for building
mkdir build && cd build
# Generate the makefile with cmake
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CONDA_PREFIX -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$CONDA_PREFIX -D CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib ..
# Build and install
make install -j2

Running the tests

To run Python tests, from the build directory, type

cd ../test
pytest . -vvv
