The supported OS are:

Almalinux 8/9 Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS Centos 7 RedHat 9

The GUI application is available under:

Ubuntu 20.04/22.04 LTS Windows 7/10 MacOSX

The quickest way to build the Karabo framework is by using the auto_build_all.sh script. Simply execute:

./auto_build_all.sh

and get informed how to use this script. The build of the C++ components of the Karabo framework is controlled by the CMake project at src/CMakeLists.txt. Tests have shown that the builds are performed faster when ninja is used as the CMake generator. If ninja is available on your Linux installation, the build uses it instead of the default Unix Makefiles generator.

In order to have your commits accepted by the CI's linting jobs, your modified Python source files must be compliant with flake8 and isort and your modified C++ source files must be compliant with the clang-format settings in the .clang-format file at the root of the repository.

The CI linting job currently use clang-format 17.0.6. Please make sure that you have at least this version available on your development system.

There are instructions on how to setup a development system based on Visual Studio Code at (https://rtd.xfel.eu/docs/karabo/en/latest/tools/vscode.html) ( which corresponds to file doc/tools/vscode.rst in the repository).

To manually run the CI linting job on your local system, please execute the following script:

$REPO_ROOT/ci/lint

Another script, src/devScripts/lint_modified.sh, allows all modified source files in the Framework that are not yet staged to be formatted with clang-format (C++ files) or with isort (Python files). This script also checks the modified Python files for PEP8 compliance with flake8.

There is a pre-commit Git hook at src/devScripts/pre-commit-hook that you should enable if you want to be warned early about C++ source formatting that will be rejected by the CI lint job. To enable that pre-commit hook, please create a symbolic link named pre-commit at directory .git/hooks referencing src/devScripts/pre-commit-hook:

ln -s $REPO_ROOT/src/devScripts/pre-commit-hook $REPO_ROOT/.git/hooks/pre-commit

where REPO_ROOT is the path of the root directory of your local Framework repository.

An extensive documentation is available in the doc folder. Build the documentation using

cd doc
pip install -r requirements.txt
make html
