Get Started with Aspose.BarCode for Python via Java

1. Install Python
   Ensure you have Python installed, version >= 3.7. You can download it from the official Python website.

2. Install Dependencies
   You can install the required dependencies either globally or in a local repository. Choose the appropriate method depending on your needs:

   • Install Dependencies Globally
     To install dependencies globally, run the following script:

     python setup_environment_global.py

     This will install all required packages into the global Python environment.

   • Install Dependencies Locally
     To isolate dependencies for this project, use a local virtual environment.

     For Windows:

     Run the following command file:

     setup_environment_local.cmd

     For macOS/Linux:

     Make the shell script executable and run it:

     chmod +x setup_environment_local.sh
     ./setup_environment_local.sh

     This will create a directory named local_venv in your project structure and install all required dependencies into it.

     After running the script, activate the virtual environment:

     local_venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
     source local_venv/bin/activate  # On Linux/macOS

   • Install the Library with PIP
     You can also install the Aspose.BarCode library directly using pip from PyPI:

     pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-java

     To install a specific version of the library in the global environment:

     pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-java==24.11.0

     To install a specific version in a local directory:

     pip install aspose-barcode-for-python-via-java==24.11.0 --upgrade -t ./local_venv

3. Explore Examples
   Explore example usage of the library in the official GitHub Examples Repository.
