We are developing and testing this framework using Python 3.8, and the following
instructions assume a clean environment (virtualenv
, conda env
, otherwise) for
installation. Similarly, we are using
ChromeDriver, which
must also be present on your system.
Install a ChromeDriver version appropriate for your OS. The version you choose should match the version of Chrome you have on your system, and should be updated to stay in sync whenever Chrome itself is updated.
On a Mac using Homebrew:
% brew cask install chromedriver
Selenium's WebDriver
s look for executables on $PATH
; if chromedriver is
installed in a $PATH
location, it should fire up just fine.
Clone this repository and navigate into it.
% git clone [email protected]:mitre/demodocus.git # Requires ssh key
% cd demodocus-framework
Create a Python virtual environment using your environment management tool of choice, e.g. for pyenv, with Python 3.8 installed:
% pyenv virtualenv 3.8 py38-demodocus-framework
% pyenv local py38-demodocus-framework
...or with conda:
% conda create -n py38-demodocus-framework python=3.8
% conda activate py38-demodocus-framework
Install Python dependencies:
% pip install -r requirements.txt
(not for developers) In order to successfully import our package, please navigate to the root directory for this repo and run:
% python setup.py install
(for developers) If you would like to be able to actively update the code,
use the develop
option instead of the install
option:
% python setup.py develop
This command will install our package demodocusfw
so that you can import
it as you would with other python packages.
Open a python shell (from any directory):
% python
>>> from demodocusfw.user import UserModel
>>> UserModel
You should be able to see the following result with no errors:
<class 'demodocusfw.user.UserModel'>
To verify that everything is installed correctly, run one of our unit tests:
% DEM_RUN_EXTENDED=False python -m unittest demodocusfw/tests/test_crawler.py
