Project Setup
You will need Zama's specific environment with zamalang module to have the project fully functional. It is currently only delivered via the docker image (see the [docker](./DOCKER.md) guide).
Installing Python v3.8
concretefhe is a Python library. So Python should be installed to develop concretefhe. v3.8 is the only supported version.
You can follow this guide to install it (alternatively you can google how to install python 3.8).
Installing Poetry
Poetry is our package manager. It simplifies dependency and environment management by a lot.
You can follow this official guide to install it.
Installing make
The dev tools use make to launch the various commands.
On Linux you can install make from your distribution's preferred package manager.
On Mac OS you can install a more recent version of make via brew:
# check for gmake
which gmake
# If you don't have it, it will error out, install gmake
brew install make
# recheck, now you should have gmake
which gmake
It is possible to install gmake as make, check this StackOverflow post for more infos.
On Windows check this GitHub gist.
In the next sections, be sure to use the proper `make` tool for your system, `make`, `gmake` or other.
Cloning repository
Now, it's time to get the source code of concretefhe. You can use the following command to do that.
git clone https://github.com/zama-ai/concretefhe-internal.git
Setting up environment
We are going to make use of virtual environments. This helps to keep the project isolated from other Python projects in the system. The following commands will create a new virtual environment under the project directory and install dependencies to it.
cd concretefhe-internal
make setup_env
Activating the environment
Finally, all we need to do is to activate the newly created environment using the following command.
macOS or Linux
source .venv/bin/activate
Windows
source .venv/Scripts/activate
Leaving the environment
After your work is done you can simply run the following command to leave the environment.
deactivate
Syncing environment with the latest changes
From time to time, new dependencies will be added to project or the old ones will be removed. The command below will make sure the project have proper environment. So run it regularly!
make sync_env
