PyPI distribution with pip install

We recommend installing MintPy with pip in development mode, a.k.a. pip install --editable .. The development mode allows you to install the package without copying files to your interpreter directory (e.g. the site-packages directory), thus allowing you to modify/update your source code and have the changes take effect without having to rebuild and reinstall.

1. Install dependencies for package publishing

mamba create --name mintpy
mamba install build pip setuptools wheel twine --yes

2. Generating distribution archives

cd $MINTPY_HOME
rm -r build dist *egg-info src/*egg-info 
# OLD: python -m setup sdist bdist_wheel
python -m build --sdist --wheel --outdir dist/ .

3. Testing with Test PyPI

python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/* --verbose
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --no-deps mintpy==1.2.3

4. Upload to PyPI

python -m twine upload dist/* --verbose
pip install mintpy
