INSTALLING VERR¶

CONDA¶

verr from Anaconda:

If you use conda, you can install verr from the conda-forge channel:

# Best practice, use an environment rather than install in the base env
conda create -n my-env
conda activate my-env
# If you want to install from conda-forge
conda config --env --add channels conda-forge
# The actual install command
conda install -c conda-forge verr

PIP¶

verr from PyPI:

If you use pip, you can install verr with:

pip install verr

Also when using pip, it’s good practice to use a virtual environment - see Reproducible Installs below for why, and this guide for details on using virtual environments.

REPRODUCIBLE INSTALLS¶

As libraries get updated, results from running your code can change, or your code can break completely. It’s important to be able to reconstruct the set of packages and versions you’re using. Best practice is to:

use a different environment per project you’re working on,
record package names and versions using your package installer; each has its own metadata format for this:
- Conda: conda environments and environment.yml
- Pip: virtual environments and requirements.txt
- Poetry: virtual environments and pyproject.toml
