Installation¶
Getting Python¶
This web application uses python3 To install python on a debian based linux machine simply run:
sudo apt-get install python3
it’s always helpful to use a virtual environment for your python installation.
Getting a solver for linear optimisation¶
The web app is known to work with the free software GLPK. The web application should also work using the Gurobi software (and whatever else Pyomo works with).
For Debian-based systems you can get GLPK with:
sudo apt-get install glpk-utils
There are similar packages for other GNU/Linux distributions. For Windows there is WinGLPK. For Mac OS X brew is your friend.
Installing the backend of the web app¶
If you have the Python package installed ( pip3) just run:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Please make sure to install the dependencies for Python 3, since the web application is programmed in Python 3
Backend dependencies¶
The web application relies on the following packages which are not contained in a standard Python installation:
- pypsa
- numpy
- scipy
- pandas
- networkx
- pyomo
- moreitertools
- Django
Using above installation technique these packages are installed.
