gas_post_processing

This repository is used to convert the text files with .txt extension from ASVCO2 gas validation into a pdf report and also create csv files.

Installation

Make sure that python is already installed and added to the PATH and use the package manager pip to install.

Create a virtual environment and activate it

In Windows:
Create a local subfolder, then open a command prompt (cmd) and use the command below.

C:\my_local_subfolder> python -m venv .\.venv

The above command will create a virtual environment in the subfolder '.venv' within my_local_subfolder. Next, activate the virtual environment with the activate .bat script.

C:\my_local_subfolder> .\.venv\Scripts\acivate

In Linux:
Create a local subfolder, then open a bash prompt in that subfolder.

my_name@my_PC:~/my_local_subfolder$ python3 -m venv ./venv

The above command will create a virtual environment in the subfolder '.venv' within my_local_subfolder. Next, activate the virtual environment.

my_name@my_PC:~/my_local_subfolder$ source ./venv/bin/activate

The virtual environment should now be active with a prompt similar to shown below.

Install Python packages into the virtual environment

In Windows:

(.venv)C:\my_local_subfolder> python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

In Linux:

(venv)my_name@my_PC:~/my_local_subfolder$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage
