In order to install Huxley, you need to first have Git, Python, Pip (Python's package manager; comes installed with Python), and Node.js installed. If you are running a Windows computer, you may need to install Git Bash.

Cloning the repository

First, navigate to the directory where you want to place Huxley using your command line.

Then, run the following command to clone Huxley to your computer:

git clone https://github.com/bmun/huxley.git

If you're on a Mac and your computer asks you to install developer tools, say yes!

Creating a virtual environment

If you run into issues with this installation, we recommend that you create a virtual environment in your Huxley directory directly -- instructions will be below!

Run the following commands to install virtual environments:

pip3 install virtualenv
pip3 install virtualenvwrapper

Then, check where virtualenvwrapper is located.

Running pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper should tell you the directory where the virtualenvwrapper package is located, but after you find the directory, say NO to the uninstall process! We're not actually trying to uninstall the package here, just trying to find the directory where it is located.
