Airbyte

Basic pointers 

Before setting up the environment, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Python 3.11.11 (recommended for Airbyte development to avoid conflicts and version issues)
• Virtual Environment for package isolation
• Pip for package management

Setting Up the Virtual Environment

To create and activate a virtual environment, follow these steps:

General Virtual Environment Setup

python3.11 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
conda create -p venv python==3.11.11 # conda based env
.venv\Scripts\activate    # On Windows
conda acticate <absolute-file-path> # conda based activation 

Installing Dependencies

Once the virtual environment is activated, install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Using Preinstalled Virtual Environments

If you are working with the source-google-drive connector and want to use its preinstalled virtual environment:

python3.11 -m venv .venv-source-google-drive
source .venv-source-google-drive/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux
.venv-source-google-drive\Scripts\activate    # On Windows

Then install the required package:

pip install --no-cache-dir airbyte-source-google-drive

User Credentials

Ensure that user credentials are stored in the root directory. If needed, modify the path to suit your setup.

This setup ensures a smooth Airbyte development experience with minimal conflicts and version-related issues.
