Via Repo

The only way to use IMPRESS is to explicitly download it from our repo or simply fork it.

Dependencies

The simplest way to run IMPRESS is to use Docker as a container software with a image developed by our team that provides all the dependecies of IMPRESS. The image file is stored in a directory called docker-image. In that case, the procedure to use IMPRESS is:

  • Install Docker correctly;
  • Build the image stored in the directory called docker-image;
    1. Open your terminal and navigate to docker-image directory
    2. Build the Dockerfile
docker build -t image_name .
  • Run Docker using the image you’ve just built through your terminal with the command:
sudo docker run -t -it -v path/to/repo/directory:/root image_name bash -c "cd /root; ipython"

If all steps were completed properly, you’re running iPython inside your recently created container and all files from IMPRESS repo must be available to be accessed.
