A typical development workflow is:

pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
- Write helpful code and tests.
- Verify code style:
./scripts/lint.sh
- Run test suite:
pytest arviz/tests
- Make a pull request.
There is also a Dockerfile which helps for isolating build problems and local development.
- Install Docker for your operating system
- Clone this repo,
- Run
./scripts/container.sh --build
