Start by installing the latest release of Python 3.11, available at https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Follow the instructions at https://python-poetry.org/docs/ in order to set up poetry on your machine. In a nutshell, this will involve installing pipx, followed by using pipx to install poetry.
Next, it's time to set up your virtual environment. Navigate to your blackhole repo directory in the command line. It's possible poetry may be able to find your Python 3.11 install automatically due to there being multiple versions of Python installed on your machine. For that reason, it's simplest to provide poetry the absolute path to your install directory, like so:
env use C:\Users\{YOUR_USER_NAME}\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\python.exe
Once poetry has created your virtual environment, enter:
poetry install
This command will install all required dependencies to the virtual environment.
To run blackhole, enter:
poetry run start-blackhole
You should see the following:
INFO: Started server process [532]
INFO: Waiting for application startup.
INFO: Application startup complete.
INFO: Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)
At this point blackhole is ready to receive API requests. While the server is runing, you may view the Swagger page for the app at: http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs
