Setting Up Local Testing Environments

TIME REQUIRED: 15 minutes

SKILL LEVEL: all skill levels

---

Before pushing anything to the Talos repo, make sure that all tests pass on different python versions. If you are on conda, first create the environments.

NOTE: We're also testing for python3.7 even though Travis does not support it yet but Talos does.

create the environments

conda create --name talos_27 python=2.7
conda create --name talos_35 python=3.5
conda create --name talos_36 python=3.6
conda create --name talos_37 python=3.7

install requirements for the environments

NOTE: you have to first install tensorflow based on your system.

First activate one of the environments:

conda activate talos_37

Make sure the Talos repo is your present working directory and install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Next create a reference file for Conda to know what to copy to other envs:

conda env export > environment.yml

Then copy the packages to all the other environments.

conda env update -n talos_27 -f environment.yml
conda env update -n talos_35 -f environment.yml
conda env update -n talos_36 -f environment.yml
