Installation

From Source

skynetapi is hosted on my GitHub. You can clone the repo by running:

git clone https://github.com/astrodyl/skynetapi.git

Using pip

Activate your virtual environment, navigate to the root directory of the repo, and run:

pip install -e .

If successful, the last line of the output will say: Successfully installed skynetapi.

By using the -e flag, any changes made to skynetapi will be reflected without the need to reinstall the package. If you have no desire to modify the source code, omit the -e flag and delete the repo after installation.

Using the Wheel

To build from source, you need the Python module build. Activate your virtual environment and run:

pip install build
python -m build

This will create a Python wheel (skynetapi/dist/skynetapi-0.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl) that can be installed using PIP.

pip install dist/skynetapi-0.1.0-py2.py3-none-any.whl

Note that there is already a Python wheel included with the repo in the dist/ directory.
