Dev FAQ list

How do I change the GUI?

You need qtcreator. If we want to modify the plom-manager tool, we use qtcreator to edit the plom/client/ui_files/ui_manager.ui file.

I’ve changed the code, how do I install it?

From the root of your git clone (i.e., the directory containing README.md, CONTRIBUTORS.md, etc), do:

pip install .

Now plom-server --version should report something like 0.9.0.dev.
