Installation
***********************
Requirements
==================
Before installing stormpy, make sure
- Python 3 is available on your system.
- `pycarl <https://moves-rwth.github.io/pycarl>`_ is available.
- `Storm <http://www.stormchecker.org/>`_ is available on your system.
To avoid issues, we suggest that both pycarl and Storm use the same version of `carl <https://smtrat.github.io/carl>`_.
The simplest way of ensuring this is to first install carl as explained in the `Storm installation guide <http://www.stormchecker.org/documentation/installation/manual-configuration.html#carl>`_.
You can then install Storm and pycarl independently.
.. _compatibility_stormpy_storm:
Compatibility of stormpy and Storm
----------------------------------
Note that stormpy and Storm are continuously extended and modified.
It is therefore important to use compatible versions of stormpy and Storm.
You have two choices for stormpy depending on the version of Storm you are using:
1. **Release version**:
You use the latest `release of Storm <https://github.com/moves-rwth/storm/releases>`_ or the ``stable`` branch or you installed Storm via `Homebrew <https://www.stormchecker.org/documentation/obtain-storm/homebrew.html>`_.
In these cases, you need to use the latest `release of stormpy <https://github.com/moves-rwth/stormpy/releases>`_.
For example, Storm 1.6.0 is compatible with stormpy 1.6.0.
2. **Master branch**:
You use the ``master`` branch of Storm.
In this case, you need to use the ``master`` branch of stormpy as well.
Note that due to ongoing development in Storm, after some commits, the stormpy ``master`` might not work with the Storm ``master`` anymore.
We will fix such issues as fast as possible.
Installation Steps
====================
Virtual Environments
--------------------
Virtual environments create isolated environments for your projects.
This helps to keep your system clean, work with different versions of packages and different version of python.
While it is not required, we recommend the use of such virtual environments. To get you started, we recommend
`this guide <http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/>`_ or
`this primer <https://realpython.com/blog/python/python-virtual-environments-a-primer>`_.
In short you can create a virtual environment ``env`` with::
$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv -p python3 env
$ source env/bin/activate
The last step activates the virtual environment.
Whenever using the environment, the console prompt is prefixed with ``(env)``.
Building stormpy
----------------
**Clone** the :ref:`compatible stormpy version<compatibility_stormpy_storm>` into any suitable location.
For the ``master`` of stormpy use::
$ git clone https://github.com/moves-rwth/stormpy.git
$ cd stormpy
or for the latest release use (remember to use the correct version)::
$ git clone https://github.com/moves-rwth/stormpy.git --branch 1.6.0
$ cd stormpy
**Build** stormpy in develop mode using your favourite python distribution way of installing: e.g.::
$ python3 setup.py develop
or::
$ pip install -ve .
Optional build arguments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The build step ``build_ext`` also takes optional arguments for a more advanced configuration of stormpy.
* *Specifying which Storm library to use*
If you have multiple versions of Storm or cmake is not able to find your Storm version,
you can specify the ``--storm-dir YOUR-PATH-TO-STORM`` flag::
$ python3 setup.py build_ext --storm-dir YOUR-PATH-TO-STORM develop
* *Disabling functionality*
If you want to disable certain functionality in stormpy from being built you can use the following flags:
* ``--disable-dft`` to disable support for dynamic fault trees (DFTs)
* ``--disable-pars`` to disable support for parametric models
* *Building stormpy in debug mode*
If you want to build stormpy in debug mode you can add the ``--debug`` flag::
$ python3 setup.py build_ext --debug develop
* *Setting number of build threads*
The build of stormpy uses all available cores per default.
If you want to configure the number of threads manually you can specify the ``--jobs`` (or ``-j``) flag::
$ python3 setup.py build_ext --jobs 2 develop
Testing stormpy installation
----------------------------
After building, you can run the test files by either::
$ python setup.py test
or by invoking pytest directly with::
$ pip install pytest
$ py.test tests/
If the tests pass, you can now use stormpy.
To get started, continue with our :doc:`getting_started`, consult the test files in ``tests/`` or the :doc:`api` (work in progress).
