DCR-CORE - Development - Environment

DCR-CORE is developed on the operating systems Ubuntu and Microsoft Windows 10. Ubuntu is used here via the VM Workstation Player. Ubuntu can also be used in conjunction with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).

The GitHub actions for continuous integration run on Ubuntu.

Version 3.10 is used for the Python programming language.

To set up a suitable development environment under Ubuntu, on the one hand a suitable ready-made Docker image is provided and on the other hand two scripts to create the development system in a standalone system, a virtual environment or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) are available.

1. Docker Image

The ready-made Docker images are available on DockerHub under the following link:

dcr_dev - Document Content Recognition Development Image

When selecting the Docker image, care must be taken to select the appropriate version of the Docker image.

2. Script-based Solution

Alternatively, for a Ubuntu environment that is as unspoiled as possible, the following two scripts are available in the scripts file directory:

• scripts/0.9.7/run_install_4-vm_wsl2_1.sh
• scripts/0.9.7/run_install_4-vm_wsl2_2.sh

After a cd scripts command in a terminal window, the script run_install_4-vm_wsl2_1.sh must first be executed. Administration rights (sudo) are required for this. Afterwards, the second script run_install_4-vm_wsl2_2.sh must be executed in a new terminal window.
