| # Contributing to TileDB-Py | |
| Thanks for your interest in TileDB-Py. The notes below give some pointers for filing issues and bug reports, or contributing to the code. | |
| ## Contribution Checklist | |
| - Reporting a bug? Please include the following information | |
| - operating system and version (windows, linux, macos, etc.) | |
| - the output of `tiledb.version()` and `tiledb.libtiledb.version()` | |
| - if possible, a minimal working example demonstrating the bug or issue (along with any data to re-create, when feasible) | |
| - Please paste code blocks with triple backquotes (```) so that github will format it nicely. See [GitHub's guide on Markdown](https://guides.github.com/features/mastering-markdown) for more formatting tricks. | |
| ## Contributing Code | |
| *By contributing code to TileDB-Py, you are agreeing to release it under the [MIT License](https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB/tree/dev/LICENSE).* | |
| ### Contribution Workflow | |
| - Quick steps to build locally: | |
| - install prerequisites via pip or conda: `pybind11` `cython` `numpy` `pandas` `pyarrow` | |
| - recommended: install TileDB embedded (libtiledb) | |
| NOTE: if libtiledb path is not specified with `--tiledb`, it will be built automatically by `setup.py`. However, this build | |
| is internal to the source tree and somewhat difficult to modify. When working on both projects simultaneously, it is | |
| strongly suggested to build libtiledb separately. Changes to libtiledb must be `make install-tiledb` to `dist` in | |
| order to be used with `--tiledb`. | |
| - from latest release build: https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB/releases | |
| - `tar xf tiledb-<platform>-<hash>.tar.gz -C /path/to/extract` | |
| - use `--tiledb=/path/to/extract` (note: this path should _contain_ the `lib` directory) | |
| - from [conda-forge](): `mamba install tiledb` | |
| - `--tiledb=$CONDA_PREFIX` | |
| - from source: https://docs.tiledb.com/main/how-to/installation/building-from-source/c-cpp | |
| - use `--tiledb=/path/to/tiledb/dist` option when running ``setup.py`` in the step below | |
| - if building libtiledb from source, to enable serialization pass ``--enable-serialization`` | |
| to the ``bootstrap`` script before compiling | |
| - serialization is optional. if libtiledb is not build with serialization, then it will not be | |
| enabled in TileDB-Py | |
| - build TileDB-Py | |
| ``` | |
| git clone https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Py | |
| cd TileDB-Py | |
| python setup.py develop --tiledb=</path/to/tiledb/dist> | |
| ``` | |
| - Make changes locally, then rebuild with `python setup.py develop [--tiledb=<>]` | |
| - Make sure to run `pytest` to verify changes against tests (add new tests where applicable). | |
| - Execute the tests as `pytest tiledb` from the top-level directory or `pytest` in the `tiledb/` directory. | |
| - Please submit [pull requests](https://help.github.com/en/desktop/contributing-to-projects/creating-a-pull-request) against the default [`dev` branch of TileDB-Py](https://github.com/TileDB-Inc/TileDB-Py/tree/dev) | |
