Recommended Development Environment

Everything you need to install for development.

  • If you have not already, install ScopeFoundry using pip.

  • For code editing use one or both of the following IDEs:

    1. VS Code: VS Code offers features for code editing and refactoring and is potentially easier to setup up and use.

    2. Eclipse: Ideal for live coding and debugging, highly recommended during testing plugins.

  • Version control and plug-in sharing with Git.

  • For interactive user interface development, install Qt Creator. This tool allows for the interactive creation of Qt user interface files (.ui).
