Installing the model involves doing some preliminaries, taking two installation steps, and then doing some clean-up:
- Preliminaries
- Step 1: Install/Update the Tax-Analyzer-Framework
- Step 2: Install/Update the INI-Tax-Analyzer Model
- Clean-Up and Reminder
Preliminaries
Before taking the installation steps, create a new directory called
INI
in your home directory. You can do this by opening an operating
system command prompt window (by starting the cmd
app on Windows,
which should put you in your home directory). Make a note of the name
of your home directory. Then enter the following command:
mkdir INI
and then moving into that new directory using the
cd INI
command. (Note that when entering a command, you need
to press the Enter or Return key at the end in order to execute the
command.) And finally, download the most recent INI-Tax-Analyzer zip
file
and unzip it in the INI
directory. After doing this there will be a
file whose name starts with initaxanalyzer
and ends with .whl
.
Step 1. Install/Update the Tax-Analyzer-Framework
Do this by following these installation instructions.
Step 2. Install/Update the INI-Tax-Analyzer Model
Execute the following commands in the INI
directory at the Anaconda
Prompt (not in the Anaconda Navigator) if you are on Windows. On
other operating systems, execute the following commands at the
operating system command prompt.
Activate the
tafe
environment by executing these two commands in theINI
directory:
conda activate tafe
conda env update
Create/update the
initaxanalyzer
package on your computer by executing this command in theINI
directory:
pip install --no-index --find-links=. initaxanalyzer
To confirm that the initaxanalyzer
package was created/updated
correctly, check that the command
inita --version
shows you
the INI-Tax-Analyzer version you downloaded. And check that the
command
inita --test
generates a PASSED TEST message on
the screen.
Clean-Up and Reminder
After taking the installation step(s), remove the INI
directory.
The easiest way to do this is to use your operating system's graphical
file management system to drag the INI
folder to the trash.
Remember that every time you want to use the model (by opening an
Anaconda Prompt on Windows or an operating system command prompt on a
non-Windows computer), you must activate the tafe
environment by
executing the conda activate tafe
command.
