Installation & Import

Step 1: Download the Code First, download the code from GitHub:

• GitHub Repository: https://github.com/HiSDpackage/saddlescape

Step 2: Add the saddlescape-1.0 Directory to the System Path After downloading the code, you need to add the path of the saddlescape-1.0 directory to the system path. This will allow you to access the package from anywhere on your system.

Use the following Python code to add the directory to the system path:

import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/saddlescape-1.0')

Replace '/path/to/saddlescape-1.0' with the actual path where the saddlescape-1.0 directory is located.

Step 3: Import the Main Class Once the path is set, you can import the main class Landscape from the SaddleScape package as follows:

from saddlescape import Landscape

This will allow you to use the Landscape class and other functionalities provided by the package.
