Quickstart Guide for command line Python

Use SpringSaLaDpy, not springsaladpy!!!

• Download and install Anaconda Distribution for Python

• Open terminal and type:

pip install SpringSaLaDpy

• Create a working directory, where you cloned/copied https://github.com/SpringSaLaDpy/SpringSaLaDpy_demo/.

• Using the terminal, navigate to the working directory and type

python analysis.py

or

python simulate.py

Due to the system configuration, in some cases, you may need to type

python3 ....py

• The script should sequentially import the package, run multiple analysis tools, analyze and visualize the data

• Note: when you run python from the terminal, the figures will appear one after the other, that is, the second figure is displayed only after you close the first figure and so on. If you run python from an IDE like Spyder, all the figures are sequentially displayed, just like the jupyter notebook.

• Change the simulation parameters and visualize the results

Terminal Output and Results

The outputed results will be found in … There are the following outputs:

• aaa
• bbb

Locating Package Through Command Line

If you need to find the location of the package

• open terminal
• open python and type

import SpringSaLaDpy
print(SpringSaLaDpy.__file__)

This will output a path to the package that will look something like this

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/SpringSaLaDpy/__init__.py
