# nilmtools: Tools and utilities for NilmDB Tools and utilities for interacting with the NILM Database, or writing programs that interact with the NILM database. by Jim Paris ## Prerequisites: # Runtime and build environments sudo apt-get install python3 # Create a new Python virtual environment to isolate deps. python3 -m venv ../venv source ../venv/bin/activate # run "deactivate" to leave # Install all Python dependencies pip3 install -r requirements.txt ## Install: Install it into the virtual environment python3 setup.py install If you want to instead install it system-wide, you will also need to install the requirements system-wide: sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt sudo python3 setup.py install ## Building new tools: The tools in this package are meant to be installed with `python3 setup.py install`. If you want to make a new one, an easier way to develop would be to first install this package, and then copy a specific script like `src/sinefit.py` to a new location, and modify it as desired. To add a tool to the package, place it in `src/` and add the appropriate configuration to `setup.py`.
