Build Instructions

If you would like to build an Operating System to run RAPID2 from scratch, we recommend Debian-based distributions and software packages for the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) are summarized in requirements.apt to be installed with apt-get. All packages can be installed at once using:

sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
     $(grep -v -E '(^#|^$)' requirements.apt)

Alternatively, one may install the APT packages listed in requirements.apt one by one, for example:

sudo apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends python3.11

Also make sure that python3 points to python3.11:

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/python3
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3.11 /usr/bin/python3

If you would like to run in a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv $HOME/venv
export PATH=$HOME/venv/bin:$PATH
