Installation
------------
The stable version can be used in two ways: as a system/user library through pip, or as a docker image.
The docker image is the recommended way because it is self-contained and isolated from the system, which means:
* Downloading and using it is just one command
* All dependencies are included
* It is OS-independent (MacOS, Windows, GNU/Linux)
* Several versions may coexist in the same machine without additional virtual environments
Additionally, you may create your own docker image with your custom plugins, ready to be used by others.
Through PIP
***********
.. code:: bash
pip install --user senpy
Alternatively, you can use the development version:
.. code:: bash
git clone git@github.com:gsi-upm/senpy
cd senpy
pip install --user .
If you want to install senpy globally, use sudo instead of the ``--user`` flag.
Docker Image
************
The base image of senpy comes with some builtin plugins that you can use:
.. code:: bash
docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 gsiupm/senpy --host 0.0.0.0
To add your custom plugins, you can use a docker volume:
.. code:: bash
docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 -v <PATH OF PLUGINS>:/plugins gsiupm/senpy --host 0.0.0.0 --plugins -f /plugins
There is a Senpy image for **python 2**, too:
.. code:: bash
docker run -ti -p 5000:5000 gsiupm/senpy:python2.7 --host 0.0.0.0
Alias
.....
If you are using the docker approach regularly, it is advisable to use a script or an alias to simplify your executions:
.. code:: bash
alias senpy='docker run --rm -ti -p 5000:5000 -v $PWD:/senpy-plugins gsiupm/senpy'
Now, you may run senpy from any folder in your computer like so:
.. code:: bash
senpy --version
