Installation

Quick Start

1. Download and install anaconda

   Warning

   Anaconda requires a license if you work at a company with >200 employees (academic instituitions exlcuded). If this applies to you, download miniforge instead, which is free & open-source for everyone. The conda commands below will be the same.

2. Set up a conda environment, install Simmate within it, and activate it

   conda create -n my_env -c conda-forge python=3.11 simmate
   conda activate my_env
   

3. Run the help command to verify the installation

   simmate --help
   

4. For first-time setup, initialize your local database (SQLite)

   simmate database reset
   

5. Start the local dev server and keep this command running

   simmate run-server
   

6. Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to access your local server
