To find out more see here: [https://www.pluralsight.com/product/projects](https://www.pluralsight.com/product/projects). ## Installation ### Verify Local Environment ### Windows Open a command prompt or powershell and run the following commands, replacing 'project-root' with the path to the root folder of the project. ``` bash > cd 'project-root' > python -m venv venv > venv\Scripts\activate.bat > pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### macOS Open a terminal and run the following commands, replacing 'project-root' with the path to the root folder of the project. ```bash > cd 'project-root' > python3 -m venv venv > source venv/bin/activate > pip install -r requirements.txt ``` *Note: If you've installed Python 3 using a method other than Homebrew, you might need to type `python` in the second command instead of `python3`.* ### About pip `pip` updates frequently, but versions greater than 10.x.x should work with this project. ## Verify Setup In order to verify that everything is setup correctly, run the following command from the project root. ```bash pytest ``` You should see that all the tests are failing. This is good! We’ll be fixing these tests once we jump into the build step. Every time you want to check your work locally you can type that command, and it will report the status of every task in the project. ## Previewing Your Work You can preview your work by opening a terminal, changing to the project root, activating the virtual environment, and executing the appropriate python script. For example `python sensor/sensor.py`.
