Developer Notes

To run the development version, one needs to do an editable installation of firecrown. This will create an entry in the conda environment that knows about the local code. You must have the :bash:firecrown_developer conda environment activated before running this installation.

Note that we use the --no-deps flag to prevent the installation from accidentally taking in any new dependencies through pip. If the installation fails because of the lack of a dependency, install that dependency using conda and not pip. If you find a dependency on a package not available through conda please file an issue on the issue tracker.

python -m pip install --no-deps --editable ${PWD}

Some of the examples and tests depend on the environment variables FIRECROWN_DIR and CSL_DIR. These environment variables are defined for you every time you activate the conda environment.
