Installation

First download the repository and save it on your machine. The easiest way to do this is by opening a terminal and typing:

git clone https://github.com/sstephenson2/SMV2rho.git /path/to/your/directory

replacing /path/to/your/directory with the location that you would like to save the distribution.

Alternatively, you can simply click on the repository release and download it using the GitHub interface. This way you can choose the release that you would like to download.

Using conda

Unix

To create a new environment named “density” for running SMV2rho, follow these steps in your terminal:

Open your terminal.
Navigate to the directory where you have the SMV2rho package.
Run the following command to create a new conda environment named “density” and install the necessary dependencies:

conda create -n density python=3.12

After creating the environment, activate it with:

conda activate density

Using pip

Unix or Windows

If you’re using pip, you can use virtualenv to create a new environment. First install virtualenv if you haven’t already:

pip install virtualenv

Then create a new environment called “density”:

virtualenv density

To activate the environment, use:

on windows:
```
density\scripts\activate
```
on Unix or MacOS:
```
source density/bin/activate
```

Installing SMV2rho

Once the "density" environment is activated, you can install SMV2rho. If you have a local copy of the SMV2rho repository, navigate to the root directory of the repository, where the pyproject.toml file is located. Then run the following command:

pip install -e .

This command installs the package in editable mode, which means you can modify the source code and see the effects without having to reinstall the package. It will install the package in your default installation directory.
