Installing plug-in dependencies¶
Dac-Man has a modular structure, and by default will only install packages that are necessary to its core functionality. To enable Dac-Man's included plug-ins, the required additional dependencies must be installed.
It is possible to install additional dependencies by updating Dac-Man's environment
using files in the dependencies/ directory of the source code repository.
Installing dependencies for all included plug-ins¶
Using Conda¶
If Dac-Man was installed using Conda, run this command from the root of the local copy of the Dac-Man source code repository to update Dac-Man's environment and enable all included plug-ins:
conda env update --name dacman-env --file dependencies/conda/builtin-plugins.yml
Using Pip¶
If Dac-Man was installed using Pip, activate Dac-Man's environment, and then run the following command instead:
pip install --requirement dependencies/pip/builtin-plugins.txt
