Installation (development)

We recommend using uv.

1. install uv
2. make a venv uv venv at project/.venv
3. Activate the venv with source .venv/bin/activate
4. option a) In the project folder run uv pip install -e . Then use as a package
5. option b) In the project workspace update the venv with uv sync to have all the package requirements. You can then use the src files as standalone.

Note

uv sometimes causes issues at steps 4. In this case

• run uv pip install pip after step 3
• run pip install -e . in the project worspace

Usage

This package is intended for use in combination with REMIND and PyPSA, as part of a snakemake workflow
