Setting up a Development Environment

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/DasIch/gf256.git
   

2. Create a virtual environment.

3. Install development dependencies:

   pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
   

Running Tests

We use a variety of tools to test the projects. You can run all of them locally with tox:

tox

You should run this at least once before committing but it takes an inconvenient amount of time especially for TDD. Use pytest to only run the unit tests:

py.test

We also use two CI platforms Travis CI and AppVeyor to test everything on Linux and Windows respectively.

Building the Documentation

You can build the documentation with:

make -C docs html

If the command succeeds, you can view the documentation by opening docs/_build/html/index.html in a browser.
