Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. This project uses Poetry for dependency and packaging management. You can use these installation instructions to add it to your system.

• If you choose to use poetry you can execute the following commands in a terminal while you are located in the repository folder: poetry install This will create a virtual environment and install all the necessary library dependencies.
• If you do not choose to use poetry we first recommend creating a virtual environment and then install the package and necessary dependencies by installing the .whl file in the dist folder. So in a terminal, while you are located in the repository folder, execute the following:
  • python -m venv venv to create the virtual environment
  • venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 to activate it
  • cd dist to enter the dist folder
  • pip install gpbp-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl to install the package

Usage

1. Some example usage can be seen in the examples/gpbp_showcase.ipynb notebook
2. When in the gpbp_app folder you can run a Streamlit app to use the package using an interface. Specifically, while you are located in the repository folder, execute the following:

• cd gpbp_app to enter the application folder
• streamlit run main_page.py to run the app, which will automatically open a browser window
