Installation

Get this repository using:

git clone  https://github.com/LCAV/continuous-localization.git

You can install all standard python requirements it (at least) two ways:

1. using pip in you favourite Python 3 environment:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

2. using conda, that will create virtual environment for you:

   conda env create -f environment.yml
   

Not that for some plotting and saving functionalities, you need to have LaTeX installed.
