Please follow these steps to get a local copy of this project on your machine and to build, test, and deploy the lecture slides.

Please bring your laptop to class. All notebooks can be viewed directly in github or through nbviewer or, the notebooks ca be used interactively via Binder .

Hence, you can follow the lecture with your laptop and a web browser. However, if you want to save your work and learn how to use tools like Pycharm, git and libraries like Pytest, you should install the following software on your computer.

• Pycharm (community edition)
• git
• Miniconda

Add to this, you might want to store your results in your own github repository. Therefore, please create a github account.

First, fork this repository to your github account. Than, clone this repository in a terminal with

git clone https://github.com/<YOUR USER>/py-algorithms-4-automotive-engineering.git

or go to Pycharm and click on VCS/Get from Version Control....

Second, open the project in Pycharm and create a new environment (right bottom corner of Pycharm). Than open requirements.txt in Project panel and click on install missing packages.

Alternatively, you can install the virtual environment manually from command line with this pip manual.

Third, test your installation with activated environment and a pytest call. You can check if you activated the environment by having a look at the command prompt. If it starts with (venv) user@computer:~/some/path, you are in active environment (venv), if not you need to activate the environment with

.\venv\Scripts\activate

on Windows and with

source venv/bin/activate

on Linux and macOS. Now test your installation with

pytest

This is very simple, just call

pytest

You can convert the jupyter notebooks into slides with this command

python make_slides.py

You can join all jupyter notebooks into one file with nbmerge package and the command

nbmerge --recursive -o merged.ipynb

When this is done, you can use

jupyter nbconvert merged.ipynb --to html

or

jupyter nbconvert merged.ipynb --to pdf

to create all in one files of this course. Note that you need a pandoc installation on your computer. Curently, html option works, pdf causes errors and the figures in pdf are missing.
