Dependencies and Building

This project has python module dependencies which can be installed from PyPI, as well as extension modules which need to be installed in a virutal enviornment.

First create and activate the virtual enviornment:

$ python3 -m venv venv

For Mac/Linux:

$ source ./venv/bin/activate

For Windows:

C> venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Install dependencies via PyPI:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Finally build and install the extension modules in the virtual enviornment:

$ python setup.py install

Now you can run the program!

$ python main.py

When run without any arguments the program will run in GUI mode.

Below are the command-line options that are available.

usage: main.py [-h] [-p PATH] [-g] [--dijkstras] [--DFS]

optional arguments:

  -p PATH, --path PATH  the path to the file(s) to solve
  -g, --gif             write out result as gif instead of png
