Installing Barnacle

You can install Barnacle and its dependencies by running

pip install barnacle

Using Barnacle usually requires interacting with additional libraries. We recommend using virtual environments to manage this library ecosystem. In particular, we used Poetry environments in developing the Barnacle project. If you have poetry installed, you can replicate the Poetry environment used for developing Barnacle by downloading the pyproject.toml file from the Barnacle GitHub page and then running

poetry install

This will build a new poetry environment, and install in that environment Barnacle, Barnacle’s dependencies, and additional libraries useful for utilizing Barnacle.
