This section is for users who want to install the brick manually. It can also be used to install the brick manually in the Constellab Codelab.

We recommend installing using Ubuntu 22.04 with python 3.10.

Required packages are listed in the settings.json file, for now the packages must be installed manually.

pip install cvxpy==1.3.0 efmtool==0.2.0 networkx==2.8.8 bioservices==1.11.2

▶️ To start the server :

python3 manage.py --runserver

🕵️ To run a given unit test

python3 manage.py --test [TEST_FILE_NAME]

Replace [TEST_FILE_NAME] with the name of the test file (without .py) in the tests folder.

🕵️ To run the whole test suite, use the following command:

python3 manage.py --test all

📌 VSCode users can use the predefined run configuration in .vscode/launch.json.
