    Setup Instructions

    1. Create and Activate Virtual Environment: Navigate to the project root directory with cd ./Examples. Then create and activate virtual environment:

      Create a virtual environment:

      py -m venv .venv

      python3 -m venv .venv

      Activate a virtual environment:

      .venv\Scripts\activate

      source .venv/bin/activate

    Install the Dependencies

    After activating the virtual environment, run the following command in your terminal to install the dependencies:

    py -m pip install -r requirements.txt

    python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

    1. Configure License (Optional): If you have a license file, you can set the license path in the run_all_examples.py file. By default, GroupDocs.Conversion for Python via .NET looks for the GROUPDOCS_LIC_PATH environment variable or for files with the .lic extension in the project’s root directory.

      Note
      Learn more about licensing, evaluation, and how to obtain a temporary license in the Licensing documentation topic.

    Running Examples

    To run the examples:

    1. Run All Examples: Execute run_all_examples.py to run all examples in the repository.

      py run_all_examples.py

      python3 run_all_examples.py

      This script will sequentially run all examples listed in run_all_examples.py file, showcasing conversions to different formats, handling files in archives, retrieving document info, and listing possible conversions.

    2. Run a Specific Example: Navigate to the directory where example script is located and run it.

    3. Output Files: Most of the examples generates an output file or files, saved in the same folder where the example script is located. Also, you can find all the output files on the corresponding documentation page.

    Troubleshooting

    If you encounter any issues while running the examples:

    • Ensure that package is installed correctly.
    • Visit our Technical Support page for further assistance.
