Dependency Management

High-Level Overview​

  • Core: Serves as the main infrastructural package.
  • Extensions: Utility packages that leverage Core's infrastructure. Each extension is its own package.
  • Providers: Utility packages extending functionality to different providers, where each provider is its own package.

Core Dependency Management​

Installation​

  • pip: pip install -e OpenBBTerminal/openbb_platform/platform/core
  • poetry: poetry install OpenBBTerminal/openbb_platform/platform/core

Using Poetry​

Ensure you're in a fresh conda environment before adjusting dependencies.

  • Add a Dependency: poetry add <my-dependency>
  • Update Dependencies:
    • All: poetry update
    • Specific: poetry update <my-dependency>
  • Remove a Dependency: poetry remove <my-dependency>

Core and Extensions​

Dev Installation​

For development setup, use the provided script to install all extensions and their dependencies:

  • python dev_install.py [-e|--extras]

Note: If developing an extension, avoid installing all extensions to prevent unnecessary overhead.

Dependency Management with Poetry​

  • Add Platform Extension: poetry add openbb-extension-name [--dev]
  • Resolve Conflicts: Adjust versions in pyproject.toml if notified by Poetry.
  • Lock Dependencies: poetry lock
  • Update Platform: poetry update openbb-platform
  • Documentation: Maintain pyproject.toml and poetry.lock for a clear record of dependencies.
