Installation

Install Python

Same to Cornac, ROSE supports most versions of Python 3. If you have not done so, go to the official Python download page. But we recommend using Python 3.8 or later.

Install ROSE

We highly recommend using a Python virtual environment to install the packages as some of them (particularly Cython and Sklearn) are only compatible in certain versions. Create a virtual environment within the project’s repository (i.e., in /ROSE/).

  1. Optional: Create a virtual environment

python3 -m venv rose
source rose/bin/activate

or

conda create -n rose python=3.11
conda activate rose

  1. Clone the repository from GitHub

git clone https://github.com/AthinaKyriakou/ROSE.git
cd ROSE

  1. Install required packages and setup

bash setup.sh

  1. Build ROSE

python setup.py install
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Verifying Installation

After installing ROSE, you can verify that it has been successfully installed by running the following command on your favourite terminal/command prompt:

python3 -c "import cornac; print(cornac.__version__)"

You should see the following output:

2.0

Congratulations! Your machine has ROSE and you’re now ready to create your first experiment!
