## Development environment
We begin by installing UV (very nice utility for managing packages and Python version):
```bash
# On MacOS and Linux.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```
```bash
# On Windows.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
```
Using UV, installing the packages and virtual environment is as simple as typing the following (inside the root directory of this repository):
```bash
uv sync
```
## Local LLM
To run a LLM locally download https://lmstudio.ai
When installing select developer mode, download a model (it will already suggest one) and run it (see developer window, status: running)
copy the url at the top right and replace local_llm_url with it + v1/chat/completions.
This + part might differ based on what model you choose.
copy the model name in the module loaded and replace local_llm_modelL. In settings.
## Running
To run the project (development server), execute the following command (while inside the root repository):
```bash
uv run fastapi dev src/control_backend/main.py
```
### Environment Variables
You can use environment variables to change settings. Make a copy of the [`.env.example`](.env.example) file, name it `.env` and put it in the root directory. The file itself describes how to do the configuration.
For an exhaustive list of environment options, see the `control_backend.core.config` module in the docs.
## Testing
Testing happens automatically when opening a merge request to any branch. If you want to manually run the test suite, you can do so by running the following for unit tests:
```bash
uv run --only-group test pytest test/unit
```
Or for integration tests:
```bash
uv run --group integration-test pytest test/integration
```
## Git Hooks
To activate automatic linting, formatting, branch name checks and commit message checks, run:
```bash
uv run pre-commit install
uv run pre-commit install --hook-type commit-msg
```
You might get an error along the lines of `Can't install pre-commit with core.hooksPath` set. To fix this, simply unset the hooksPath by running:
```bash
git config --local --unset core.hooksPath
```
Then run the pre-commit install commands again.
## Documentation
Generate documentation web pages using:
### Linux & macOS
```bash
PYTHONPATH=src sphinx-apidoc -F -o docs src/control_backend
```
### Windows
```bash
$env:PYTHONPATH="src"; sphinx-apidoc -F -o docs src/control_backend
```
Optionally, in the `conf.py` file in the `docs` folder, change preferences.
In the `docs` folder:
### Linux & macOS
```bash
make html
```
### Windows
```bash
.\make.bat html
```
