Installation

This guide describes how to install midas on Linux, OS-X, and Windows.

Linux

This guide is based on Manjaro 20.1.1 Mikah, 64bit, but this should for work for other distributions as well.

The midas package requires Python >= 3.6. We recommend to use a virtualenv to avoid messing up your system environment. Use your distributions’ package manager to install pip and virtualenv.

$ virtualenv ~/.virtualenvs/midas
$ source ~/.virtualenv/midas/bin/activate

If your distribution still relies on Python 2.x, make sure that you actually create a virtualenv environment for Python 3.

$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 ~/.virtualenvs/midas
$ source ~/.virtualenv/midas/bin/activate

Now you can install midas from the pypi package repository

(midas) $ pip install midas  # TODO insert pypi name

or from the source code.

(midas) $ pip install git+https://gitlab.com/midas-mosaik/midas.git

Finally, you can test your installation by typing:

(midas) $ midascli -v

into the console, which should print the current version number of midas.
