Installation

You enter the room with great trepidation, fearing another tortuous installation process.

But fear not, for the Old One hears your heart’s desire.

Only 3 steps are required to awaken Cthulhu.

Step 1: Create an Anaconda Environment

Attention

Cthulhu thrives best in a fresh Anaconda environment. You can create a new Conda environment with a specific version of Python (here 3.9) via:

conda create --name 𝗬𝗒𝗨π—₯_π—˜π—‘π—©_π—‘π—”π— π—˜_π—›π—˜π—₯π—˜ python=3.9

Once the basic Python packages are installed in this fresh environment, you can activate the environment containing Cthulhu’s lair:

conda activate 𝗬𝗒𝗨π—₯_π—˜π—‘π—©_π—‘π—”π— π—˜_π—›π—˜π—₯π—˜

Step 2: Summon Cthulhu!

Now you are ready to download Cthulhu. You can summon Cthulhu from GitHub or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/MartianColonist/Cthulhu

Then navigate into the top-level Cthulhu directory and install the package via:

cd Cthulhu
pip install -e .

Step 3: Awaken the Old One

Congratulations, you have installed Cthulhu!

Cthulhu welcomes you with open arms (tentacles?) and invites you to proceed to Getting Started.
