Clone the repository at esciencecenter-digital-skills/parallel-python-workshop. Follow software setup instructions there to setup the environment, and run the unit tests to see if your setup is working.

Software Setup

Details

This is an intermediate level Python course. We expect familiarity with the command-line, and that you are comfortable working with a coding text editor (like for instance, VS Code). We provide two choices for working environment: conda or poetry. If you are on Windows the prefered method is conda. On Linux or MacOS you should be fine with either.

From within the cloned repository root directory, run the following commands to create a conda environment from the environment.yml file and activate it

BASH 

$ conda env create -f environment.yml --prefix ./env
$ conda activate ./env

Next, run pytest and see if it completes all tests without errors.

BASH 

$ pytest
