From the source code

You can install the package locally, by

• first git-cloning the repository:

  • git clone git@github.com:debatelab/tau.git

• and then installing the package by running ‘pip install -e .’ from the local directory of the package (e.g. local-path-to-repository/tau) that contains the setup file setup.py. (The -e-option will install the package in the editable mode, allowing you to change the source code.)

Note

The package requires a python version >= 3.8 and depends on the packages bitarray, numba and PySat (which will be installed when installing remodel by using pip).

Documentation

A Jupyter notebook provides step-by-step instructions of using the tau package. Further details can be found in the API documentation.
