Quick Start: Installation

1. Users should create a DSI virtual environment with a name of your choice, e.g., mydsi:

   Python virtual environment

   python3 -m venv mydsi
   source mydsi/bin/activate           # start from here if virtual environment exists
   pip install --upgrade pip
   

   Miniconda3 virtual environment

   . ~/miniconda3/bin/activate
   conda create -n mydsi python=3.11
   conda activate mydsi                # only run this if virtual environment exists
   

2. Install DSI:

   Alpha-version: Clone the dsi repo, move into the new dsi directory, and use pip to install all base packages:

   git clone https://github.com/lanl/dsi.git
   cd dsi
   pip install .
   

   Supported release: Published versions on PyPI at https://pypi.org/project/dsi-workflow/. Install the latest version by:

   python3 -m pip install dsi-workflow
   

3. (Optional) If using all DSI functionalities, it is necessary to install requirements.extras.txt as well:

   pip install -r requirements.extras.txt
   

4. When you’ve completed work, deactivate the environment with:

   deactivate
