athenaCL is an algorithmic composition tool created by Christopher Ariza.
Or, as described by the author more specifically, it is a tool for:
modular poly-paradigm algorithmic music composition in a cross-platform interactive command-line environment.
The manual is built using mdBook you will
find the source code inside doc/ directory. You can read it
here.
The repo includes large files tracked by git-lfs. You need it to be installed
on your system. Then, after you cloned the repo:
git lfs pull
Then you can run the program using:
cargo run --release
cargo test will run not only rust tests, but python tests as well.
Currently, bundling app packages configured on macOS only. To bundle a package:
./bundle-mac.sh
After that the .app package should be located at
target/release/bundle/osx/athenaCL.app.
Initially this repo was forked to update the code to python3. But then I considered to build a GUI version of athenaCL. Today the code is adapted for GUI needs:
- it's modified to be easily embeddable into binary (using RustPython and freezing);
- some features related to CLI are removed, to make it work better with RustPython;
- while the CLI version might still work, it's not supported, so expect bugs.
If you're interested in the original (CLI) version, check out the
pregui tag.
