Getting started#

To help with developing start by installing the development dependencies. Our continuous integration pipeline is based on Tox. So you need to install tox first

pip install tox
# or
conda install -c conda-forge tox

Then go to the MAICoS develop project page, hit the Fork button and clone your forked branch to your machine.

git clone git@gitlab.com:your-user-name/maicos.git

Now you have a local version on your machine which you can install by

cd maicos
pip install -e .

This install the package in development mode, making it importable globally and allowing you to edit the code and directly use the updated version.
