= Easy Developer Setup Using Anaconda =
== Step 1 - Install Anaconda ==
Download the latest '''64-Bit''' Python '''2.7''' Installer from http://continuum.io/downloads and run it.

 * The recommended destination folder is as good as any.  If you deviate from this then it's probably worthwhile to make sure the path is short and contains no spaces.

 * At the Advanced Options screen, you need to consider whether or not you want to make Anaconda your default version of Python.  Developers who do not work on multiple Python projects can just accept the defaults here.

 * By default of Windows anaconda is installed for single user and not "everyone", which means you cannot run the conda command from an arbitrary command window. If you proceeded with default installation, you need to open Anaconda Prompt from Menu Start. Otherwise you can install anaconda for everyone, which requires root privlidges. 

== Step 2 - Download !SasView and sasmodels from github ==
If you don't have git installed, go to the GIT section below ([#anchor1 Step 7]) for instructions, otherwise simply run

{{{
git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasview.git sasview
git clone https://github.com/SasView/sasmodels.git sasmodels
}}}


== Step 3 - Install dependencies using yml files ==
Go to folder:

{{{
sasview/build_tools/conda/ymls
}}}
and create conda enviroment using yml specific for your platform (needs to be run from top-level not within a conda virtual environment)

{{{
#Windows
conda env create -f sasview-env-build_win.yml

#Mac OSX
conda env create -f sasview-env-build_osx.yml

#Linux
conda env create -f sasview-env-build_linux.yml
}}}
== Step 4 - activate conda enviroment ==
{{{
#Windows
activate sasview

#Mac OSX and Linux
source activate sasview
}}}

== Step 5 - run !SasView ==
You should be ready to run sasview. 
Go to sasview directory and run

{{{

#Windows
python run.py

#Mac OSX and Linux
pythonw run.py

}}}
== [=#anchor1 Step 6 - Install Git (Optional)] ==
Install Git for your platform by following instructions:

{{{
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
}}}
When installing on Windows, it may be worthwhile to make sure "Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt" is selected, rather than "Use Git from Bash only".  This way you can use git from the same command line as you will use Anaconda.

Set up your credentials:

{{{
git config --global user.name "John Doe"
git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
}}}

If you work behind proxy remmber to configure
{{{
e.g. git config --global http.proxy 192.168.1.1:XXXX 
}}}
