The GitHub way

• Step 1. Download FEDOT Framework.

  • First of all, you need to clone the FEDOT Framework to your personal computer. You can do it directly using the button Code (red square) and then copying a link to the repository (blue square).

    

  • Then open cmd (Windows) or terminal (Unix-like OS), type in:

    $ git clone https://github.com/aimclub/FEDOT.git
    $ cd FEDOT
    

• Step 2. Creating VirtualEnv.

  • Next, you need to create a virtual environment in your project to avoid libraries incompatibility. To do this, type in

    $ python -m venv <your_venv_path>
    

    Then, activate venv by using the following command on Unix-like OS

    $ source venv/bin/activate
    # remember to call `deactivate` once you're done using the application
    

    or the following command using Windows OS

    $ venv\Scripts\activate
    # remember to call `venv\Scripts\deactivate` once you're done using the application
    

  • After creating the virtual environment, install the libraries necessary for FEDOT to work. Type in:

    $ pip install .
    

  • But, if you want to use additional functionality such as NNs, you’ll need to run full installation option.

    To do this run the following command

    $ pip install .[extra]
    

    You can make use of the last command even after the previous one:

    In that case only new packages will be installed, others will be skipped.
