Install Renardo Python library

Getting python to work

Windows

You need to install Python. Use the official one from https://python.org (please don’t use anaconda or parallel environments if you don’t understand their consequences).

Mac OS

If you’ve never use developper stuff before you probably need to install python3 (and cmd line tools) by launching in a terminal: sudo xcode-select --install

Linux

Python comes natively as a base tool of your OS.

Install Renardo

Windows or MacOS

• You can simply open a terminal (PowerShell on windows) and launch pip install renardo (or pip3 install renardo if the preceding fails)
• Launch renardo (with FoxDot editor) by launching renardo in the terminal (or you can try python -m renardo or python3 -m renardo)

Linux

On Linux you should not install pip packages globally anymore but use a virtual environment instead. You can either :

• learn how to manually create a virtualenv : https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-setup-virtual-environments-in-python/
• install and use pipx :
  • Install it with your package manager of choice (sudo apt install pipx, sudo pacman -S python-pipx, …)
  • pipx ensurepath in a terminal
  • Then you can simply install renardo by launching pipx install renardo.
  • Then launch renardo with: renardo
