For general purpose use and development just use in a virtual environment:
make install
This will install the package for development as well as all testing requirements.
Otherwise run a full install:
python setup.py install
Recommended to install tox, and tests can be run using only the tox command.
The commands pytest or make test can be used to run the tests. The make test command will also use coverage.
Setup will install a command line script named orb_cli which allows rudimentary interaction with an ORB API from the command line.
orb_cli list --username=somebody --key=kjasdksjf
Run orb_cli --help for argument specifications.
