@ -97,6 +97,28 @@ system install, you will need to set up the pyenv folder yourself, making sure
you have PyQt5, the WebEngine module and development tools (eg pyqt5-dev-tools)
installed as well. You'll need to create the venv with --system-site-packages.
Studying Anki on your Dev machine?
----------------------------------
It's advisable to create a new Anki dev profile for debug and testing so that your study collection doesn't become
incompatible with your installed version:
- run Anki
- File | Switch profile > Add > provide [dev profile name] > Ok
- make a note of that [dev profile name]
Because you now have at least two profiles the Profiles dialog will open when Anki runs to allow you to choose the
profile to load.
Alternatively you can set your Anki project to load your [dev profile name] profile automatically with the startup
options described here: https://docs.ankiweb.net/#/files?id=startup-options
To do this in PyCharm:
- right click on the "run" file in the root of the PyCharm Anki folder
- click "Edit 'run'..."
- in Script options enter:
- "-p [dev profile name]"
- without the quotes
- click "Ok"
