EP Workbench: How to Create Python Environment for your WIP

Note: WIPs run python code in the background and therefore require setting up a Conda environment.

• WIPs (Work-in-Progress) are small plugins that can run code from within EP Workbench.
• You can install a WIP (using the WIP Marketplace) or you can create your own WIP.

Setting up the Python Interpreter (Conda Environment)

1. Download the requirements.txt file from the WIP repository, for example: requirements.txt

2. Open a terminal:
   a. Create a new environment: conda create -n wip python=3.11
   b. Activate the environment: conda activate wip
   c. Install the requirements.txt file from above by typing: cd /path/to/your/folder and then pip install -r requirements.txt

3. You also require openep installation. On your terminal do the following:
   a. Go to project location folder (wherever you’d like to install the software): cd /path/to/your/folder
   b.git clone https://github.com/openep/openep-py.git
   c. cd openep-py
   d. Go to the latest branch (usually ecci-dev); git checkout ecci-dev
   e. python3 -m pip install -e .

4. Finally, make sure to set the interpreter path on EP Workbench EP Workbench > WIP tab > Select WIP > Info > Edit and then set the python file path (../wip/bin/python3.11). See below for example path.

Note: You can type where conda from within the environment to see where the environment path is.
