After cloning or downloading the repo, create a Python virtual environment with:

python -m venv .virtualenv

if the pyvenv command does not exist on your system.

Now activate the virtual environment. on macOS, Linux and Unix systems, use:

source .virtualenv/bin/activate

On Windows:

.virtualenv\Scripts\activate.bat

Install the Development Environment

Now run:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel # you will need this if you saw the error like ERROR: Failed building wheel for cmake
pip install -e .[dev]

This will install the packages the project depends on in production as well as packages needed during development.

At this point, you are ready to start modifying to template for your own needs.
