# AMIRIS-Py
Python tools for the electricity market model [AMIRIS](https://dlr-ve.gitlab.io/esy/amiris/home/).
## Installation
pip install amirispy
You may also use `pipx`. For detailed information please refer to the official `pipx` [documentation](https://github.com/pypa/pipx).
pipx install amirispy
### Further Requirements
In order to execute all commands provided by `amirispy`, you also require a Java Development Kit (JDK).
JDK must be installed and accessible via your console in which you run `amirispy`.
To test, run `java --version` which should show your JDK version (required: 8 or above).
If `java` command is not found or relates to a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), please download and install JDK (e.g. from [Adoptium](https://adoptium.net/de/temurin/releases/?version=11))
## Usage
Currently, there are three distinct commands available:
- `amiris install`: installation of the [latest AMIRIS version](https://gitlab.com/dlr-ve/esy/amiris/amiris) to your computer
- `amiris run`: perform a full workflow by compiling the `.pb` file from your `scenario.yaml`, executing AMIRIS, and converting results
- `amiris comparison`: compare the results of two different AMIRIS runs to check them for their equivalence
### `amiris install`
Downloads and installs the latest open access AMIRIS instance.
| Option | Action |
|--------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-u` or `--url` | URL to download AMIRIS from (default: latest AMIRIS artifact from [https://gitlab.com/dlr-ve/esy/amiris/amiris](https://gitlab.com/dlr-ve/esy/amiris/amiris) |
| `-t` or `--target` | Folder to install `amiris-core_<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar` to (default: `./`) |
| `-f` or `--force` | Force install which may overwrites existing AMIRIS installation of same version |
### `amiris run`
Compile scenario, execute AMIRIS, and extract results.
| Option | Action |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| `-j` or `--jar` | Path to `amiris-core_<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar` |
| `-s` or `--scenario` | Path to `scenario.yaml` |
| `-o` or `--output` | Directory to write output to |
### `amiris compare`
Compare if results of two AMIRIS runs and equivalent.
| Option | Action |
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| `-e` or `--expected` | Path to folder with expected results |
| `-t` or `--test` | Path to folder with results to test |
| `-i` or `--ignore` | Optional list of file names to not be compared |
### Help
You reach the help menu at any point using `-h` or `--help` which gives you a list of all available options, e.g.:
`amiris --help`
### Logging
You may define a logging level or optional log file as **first** arguments in your workflow using any of the following arguments:
| Option | Action |
|----------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `-l` or `--log` | Sets the logging level. Default is `error`. Options are `debug`, `info`, `warning`, `warn`, `error`, `critical`. |
| `-lf` or `--logfile` | Sets the logging file. Default is `None`. If `None` is provided, all logs get only printed to the console. |
Example: `amiris --log debug --logfile my/log/file.txt install`
