Setup

To setup MIP on your machine, you first need to choose if you want to install it into a venv1 or right onto the global installation of Python.

Venv Setup

To setup MIP in a venv you first need to setup the venv: 

python -m venv venv
This will generate all necessary files for a new venv. 
source venv/bin/activate
This will activate the venv, you should see a (venv) prefix now.

Warning

With programs like oh-my-posh you will not see the (venv) prefix. You can verify that you are in the venv by running which python or which pip. Both executables should be located in the venv/ folder

Now lets install MIP onto the venv!

Firstly you need to download the MIP Git Repository which you can achive by running 

git clone https://github.com/Volartrix/made-in-python.git mip/
After that you need to cd into the dir and install the package which you can do by running 
cd mip/
pip install -e .
MIP should now be installed in your venv. You can verify by running 
pip list
Somewhere in there, it should say mip-x.x.x where x.x.x is the version

Global Setup

If you prefer not to use a venv, thats not a problem! Just follow these steps to install MIP on your system.

Firstly you need to download the MIP Git Repository which you can achive by running 

git clone https://github.com/Volartrix/made-in-python.git mip/
After that you need to cd into the dir and install the package which you can do by running
