Installation

Let’s get started by setting up our environment to have your own COBRA.

1.1 Requirements

Currently, COBRA will only be happy when living with python 3.7 or newer. So please provide a nice environment to make sure it is happy to be with you.

1.2 Working environment

COBRA is tested and supported on the following 64-bit systems:

• Fedora 29

• MacOS Catalina 10.15.7

In order to take COBRA home, you can either keep it into a docker container or build up a cosy working environment for it.

See more details from Environment.

Note

Once you have the environmnet sorted, you can simply install COBRA by following the next step.

1.3 Install COBRA

Users are welcome to install COBRA either use pip package or build from source.

1.3.1 pip package manager (TODO)

Install COBRA with Python’s pip package manager.

# Requires the latest pip
pip install --upgrade pip
# Current stable release
pip install sslab-cobra

1.3.2 Build from source

Download the COBRA source code from github

# git clone
git clone https://github.com/ss-lab/cobra.git
cd cobra

We recommand users to create a virual environment (optional)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install those COBRA required packages

# build environment
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Now, hopefully, COBRA is ready to work!

Note

Welcome on board! You have your own COBRA now. The next section will tell you the abilities of COBRA and guide you to train this snake step-by-step.
