To set up an environment for continuous development of OpenInference (Python), use a virtual environment and install the package in editable mode with development dependencies. For example, after creating and activating your environment, run `pip install -e ".<https://github.com/Arize-ai/openinference/blob/main/python/DEVELOPMENT.md|dev,test]"` from the repo root. This allows you to make code changes and have them reflected immediately without reinstalling. For more details, see the [OpenInference Python DEVELOPMENT.md> and <https://github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix/blob/main/DEVELOPMENT.md|Phoenix DEVELOPMENT.md>.
If you are working on the web frontend, install Node.js (preferably via nvm), then install dependencies and build with `pnpm install` and `pnpm run build` in the `app` directory. Would you like a step-by-step breakdown for Python or JS development, or help with a specific tool (e.g., tox, conda, virtualenv, etc.)?
