Get Started!¶

Ready to contribute? Here’s how to set up pywaterflood for local development.

Download a copy of pywaterflood locally with git.

git clone https://github.com/frank1010111/pywaterflood.git

Install python3 and Rust if you haven’t already.

Python install guide

Rust install guide

Install pywaterflood in a virtual environment using maturin:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # assuming linux, MacOS, or git-bash
pip install maturin
maturin develop

Use git to create a branch for local development and make your changes:
```
git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
```
When you’re done making changes, check that your changes conform to any code formatting requirements and pass any tests.

You can run the linting and tests with nox:
```
pip install nox
nox
```
To make sure linting runs with every commit, use pre-commit hooks:
```
pip install pre-commit
pre-commit install --install-hooks
```
If you’ve updated the documentation, check that sphinx still builds.

You need to make sure you’ve installed pandoc, then use nox to build and serve them.
```
nox -s docs -- --serve
```
Point your browser to localhost:8000 to see if they look how you expect.
Commit your changes and open a pull request.

Pull Request Guidelines¶

Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines:

The pull request should include additional tests if appropriate.
If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated.
The pull request should work for all currently supported operating systems and versions of Python.
