Contributions to Cubed are very welcome. Please head over to GitHub to get involved.

Development

Using conda/pip

Create an environment with:

conda create --name cubed python=3.11
conda activate cubed
pip install -e ".[test]"

Using uv

Install the project with test dependencies:

uv sync --extra test

Run the tests:

uv run pytest

To include additional extras (e.g. Dask support), add more --extra flags:

uv sync --extra test --extra dask

Note: Do not use --all-extras, as it includes backend-specific extras (Beam, Lithops, Modal, Coiled) that have conflicting or platform-specific dependencies and are not needed for local development.

Additional dependencies

Make sure graphviz is installed on your machine (see these instructions).
