Installation of the Development Environment

Yangson now uses Poetry for managing dependencies and virtual environments. This simpifies considerably the initial setup of the development environment:

1. Install Poetry, for instance using these instructions.

2. Clone the Yangson project in a directory of your choice:

   $ git clone git@github.com:CZ-NIC/yangson.git
   $ cd yangson
   

3. Install dependencies:

   $ poetry install
   

   It is often useful to install other YANG tools, in particular pyang. To do so, use the following command instead:

   $ poetry install --all-extras
   

4. Activate the virtual environment:

   $ poetry shell
   

5. Check that everything was correctly installed by running

   $ make test
   $ cd docs
   $ make doctest
   

6. Documentation can be built locally by running

   $ make html
   

   in the docs subdirectory.

See Poetry documentation for further details.
