Status

This is a Draft.

Overview

This project is design to be completed on Pluralsight. To find out more see here: https://www.pluralsight.com/product/projects.

Installation

Verify Local Environment

Windows

Open a command prompt or powershell and run the following commands, replacing 'project-root' with the path to the root folder of the project.

> cd 'project-root'
> python -m venv venv
> venv\Scripts\activate.bat
> pip install -r requirements.txt

macOS

Open a terminal and run the following commands, replacing 'project-root' with the path to the root folder of the project.

> cd 'project-root'
> python3 -m venv venv
> source venv/bin/activate
> pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: If you've installed Python 3 using a method other than Homebrew, you might need to type python in the second command instead of python3.

About pip

pip updates frequently, but versions greater than 10.x.x should work with this project.

Verify Setup

In order to verify that everything is setup correctly, run the following command from the project root.

pytest

You should see that all the tests are failing. This is good! We’ll be fixing these tests once we jump into the build step.

Every time you want to check your work locally you can type that command, and it will report the status of every task in the project.

Previewing Your Work

You can preview your work by opening a terminal, changing to the project root, activating the virtual environment, and executing the appropriate python script. For example python sensor/sensor.py.
