Development Environment Setup
Clone the source code from GitHub
Use SourceTree or other application to clone the code from GitHub to a local directory.
Setup Virtual Environment
Change to the new source code directory:
cd /path/to/source/
Create the virtual environment:
python3 -m venv ./.venv
INFO
Ensure that the .venv folder is not added to source control.
Use PIP to download and install the prerequisites:
./.venv/bin/pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
Development Testing
Launch the code without building a container to test within:
./.venv/bin/python main.py
