#Client

#Install package with pip

1pip install arkecosystem-client

#Development

1. Fork the package .
2. Clone your forked repository.

1git clone https://github.com/<githubusername>/python-client

3. Next, move into the fresh cloned directory.

1cd python-client

4. The next step would be to create something like a virtual environment to ensure no name clashes occur.

5. Create and enter the virtual environment

 1# With virtualenv (on Unix and OSx)
 2mkdir my-amazing-ark-project
 3cd my-amazing-ark-project
 4virtualenv virtualEnvName
 5source venv/bin/activate
 6 
 7# With virtualenv (on Windows)
 8mkdir my-amazing-ark-project
 9cd my-amazing-ark-project
10virtualenv virtualEnvName
11.\venv\Scripts\activate.bat

6. Once inside the virtualenv, you can proceed to install the dependencies. These are listed inside the setup.py file.

 1pip install \
 2   requests \
 3   backoff \
 4   flake8 \
 5   flake8-import-order \
 6   flake8-print \
 7   flake8-quotes \
 8   pytest \
 9   pytest-responses \
10   pytest-mock \
11   pytest-cov

7. Dependencies are now installed, you can now run the tests to see if everything is running as it should.
