Installation

The source code of rNets is hosted at our Github .The following instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

• python >= 3.12

Installing the dependencies

rNets only depends on the python standard library that usually comes with the cpython interpreter, the default one adopted by the python community. This means the the only requisite for installing rNets is python. The python community has placed a lot of effort into the documentation and actively maintains it so for further instructions on how to install python into your computer we highly recommend to check the official python documentation.

Although for being able to install and run rNets only python is required, rNets relies heavily on graphviz for the actual rendering of the images, as the output of rNets is tipically a .dot file. Installing graphviz is tipically a straightforward and quick process. Graphviz may be downloaded from their official webpage.

Installing rNets

rNets can be directly installed through pip as a version of the package is hosted at the Python Package Index (PyPI):

$ python -m pip install rNets

Warning

Warning: The rNets code is not available at the Python Package Index, but will soon be available, please use the other installation options.

However, if the user does prefer it, it can also be easily installed from the source code. For that we will start by downloading the source code using git.

$ git clone https://codeberg.org/spgarcica/rNets.git rnets-source

Next we proceed to install it using pip

$ python -m pip install rnets-source/

If you do not have git or do prefer to download manually the source code as a .zip or .tar.gz do it install it.

$ python -m pip install rNets.tar.gz

Note

It is possible to unpack it and install it as indicated in the previous step but it is not required.

Uninstalling rNets

Completely uninstalling rNets is also quite easy due to its lack of dependencies. All that is needed is to command pip to uninstall the package

$ python -m pip uninstall rNets
