This guide provides instructions for setting up and running the Research Mutations project on macOS or Ubuntu Linux environments. Ensure that you follow these steps after cloning the repository to your local machine.

• Java 17
• Maven
• Python 3
• Pip

Before running the setup script, you need to clone the Research Mutations repository:

git clone https://github.com/aharoJ/Jterminal.git

cd Jterminal

From the root directory of the cloned repository, run the following command to execute the setup script:

./setup.sh

This script performs several actions:

• Checks if you have the correct version of Java installed.
• Executes Maven commands to clean, compile, and package the application.
• Ensures Python 3 and pip are installed.
• Installs the LittleDarwin mutation testing tool.

a M2.txt

depending on your hardware, it can take 1 min to 10 min

After completing the setup, the project should be fully configured. You can start using the Research Mutations tools according to the project's intended usage patterns.

To run mutation tests with LittleDarwin, use the following command in the project's root directory:

python3 -m littledarwin -m -b -t ./ -p ./src/main

This command executes the mutation testing process on the specified source directory.

For support with the setup or any questions regarding the usage of the tools, please open an issue on the GitHub repository or contact the project maintainers directly. Contributing
