Git and pandoc

Use the following links to install git and pandoc.

If you don’t have admin access make sure to install within your user account. When installing git it will ask you what default text editor to use. If you don’t know what vim is make sure to change the default setting from vim to VSCode (that was just installed).

Install poetry

To install Poetry run the following within a command prompt:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python

What this does is detailed in the Install Poetry docs. You will need to close and reopen your command prompt after installing Poetry.

Install the development version of PyMedPhys and pre-commit

To download a copy of the PyMedPhys repository onto your machine run:

git clone https://github.com/pymedphys/pymedphys.git

Then change into the newly created directory by running:

cd pymedphys

Then install PyMedPhys and set up pre-commit by running:

poetry install
poetry run pre-commit install
