Installation

• It's always a good idea to use virtualenv to isolate your work from your system Python installation:

• Using virtualenv:

virtualenv intern
. intern/bin/activate

• Using virtualenvwrapper:

mkvirtualenv intern

• (Preferred) Install via pypi

pip install intern

• Install via git

Clone the repository from https://github.com/jhuapl-boss/intern and run pip install -r requirements.txt from the repository's location on your system.

Add <repository location> to your PYTHONPATH.

For example, on a *nix system, if intern was cloned to ~/intern:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:~/intern

For Python 2 support, you will need to install intern v0.10.0 or earlier.

Optional Dependencies
