## Setup
[Rust](https://rustup.rs/), a C compiler, and CMake are required to build Puffin.
Testing Puffin requires multiple specific Python versions. We provide a script to bootstrap development by downloading the required versions.
### Linux
On Ubuntu and other Debian-based distributions, you can install the C compiler and CMake with
```shell
sudo apt install build-essential cmake
```
### macOS
CMake may be installed with Homebrew:
```
brew install cmake
```
The Python bootstrapping script requires `coreutils` and `zstd`; we recommend installing them with Homebrew:
```
brew install coreutils zstd
```
See the [Python](#python) section for instructions on installing the Python versions.
### Windows
You can install CMake from the [installers](https://cmake.org/download/) or with `pipx install cmake` (make sure that the pipx install path is in `PATH`, pipx complains if it isn't).
### Python
Install required Python versions with the bootstrapping script:
```
scripts/bootstrap/install.sh
```
Then add the Python binaries to your path:
```
export PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH
```
We also strongly recommend setting the `PUFFIN_PYTHON_PATH` variable during development; this will prevent your
system Python versions from being found during tests:
```
export PUFFIN_PYTHON_PATH=$PWD/bin
```
If you use [direnv](https://direnv.net/), these variables will be exported automatically after you run `direnv allow`.
## Testing
To run the tests we recommend [nextest](https://nexte.st/). Make sure to run the tests with `--all-features`, otherwise you'll miss most of our integration tests.
## Running inside a docker container
Source distributions can run arbitrary code on build and can make unwanted modifications to your system (https://moyix.blogspot.com/2022/09/someones-been-messing-with-my-subnormals.html, https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/), which can even occur when just resolving requirements. To prevent this, there's a Docker container you can run commands in:
```bash
docker buildx build -t puffin-builder -f builder.dockerfile --load .
# Build for musl to avoid glibc errors, might not be required with your OS version
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --profile profiling --features vendored-openssl
docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/app puffin-builder /app/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/profiling/puffin-dev resolve-many --cache-dir /app/cache-docker /app/scripts/popular_packages/pypi_10k_most_dependents.txt
```
We recommend using this container if you don't trust the dependency tree of the package(s) you are trying to resolve or install.
