Installation

Get a copy of the source code from the GithubRepo It doesn't matter if you clone the repository or get the zip file.

Once you have the code navigate to its location using the command line.

=== "Windows"

```
C:\> 
```

=== "Linux"

``` bash
dang@dang-laptop ~/Github$ cd reMarkAble
dang@dang-laptop ~/Github/reMarkAble$
```

!!! tip "Installation in a virtual environment"

Virtual environments (venv) give us a way of sandboxing python software we
install.  It means that they are not installed in the global path.
Personally, as a developer, I prefer this as it means I don't get caught out by
dependencies or clutter up my Python name space with cruft.

We can create a venv

``` bash
python -m venv env
```

Each time we want to use the code we need to access enter the virtual environment.
We can do this in Linux / mac with

``` bash
$ source env/bin/activate
```

or Windows
``` cmd
C:\> env\Scripts\activate.bat
```

Installing

We can now install the program using the setup script.

(env) dang@dang-laptop ~/Github/reMarkAble$ python setup.py install

running install
