Setup

The easiest way to get all the dependencies in place is to use a conda environment.

1. Install Anaconda Python

   Or if you've already installed it previously, run: conda update conda

2. Build the environment (takes several minutes): conda env create -f environment.yml

3. Activate the environment: source activate template-env

   (For Windows, just use activate template-env)

4. Install development versions of ChoiceModels and UrbanSim Templates

   Navigate to directory where folders should go, then:

   git clone https://github.com/udst/choicemodels.git
   cd choicemodels
   python setup.py develop
   cd ..
   git clone https://github.com/udst/urbansim_templates.git
   cd urbansim_templates
   python setup.py develop
   

5. All set! Whenever you open a new terminal window, use source activate template-env to activate the environment

6. Periodically (or when there's new functionality you want to use) run git pull from inside the choicemodels and urbansim_templates folders to update the codebases
