For most of the data sets, we rely on the database interfaces from Bob_.

For these databases, the special :py:class:`bob.bio.base.database.BioDatabase` interface is provided, which takes the Bob_ database as parameter.
Several such databases are defined in the according packages, i.e., :ref:`bob.bio.spear <bob.bio.spear>`, :ref:`bob.bio.face <bob.bio.face>` and :ref:`bob.bio.video <bob.bio.video>`.
For Bob_'s ZT-norm databases, we provide the :py:class:`bob.bio.base.database.ZTBioDatabase` interface.

For each of the tools, several resources are defined, which you can list with the ``./bin/resources.py`` command line.
When you want to register your own resource, make sure that your configuration file is importable (usually it is sufficient to have an empty ``__init__.py`` file in the same directory as your configuration file).
Then, you can simply add a line inside the according ``entry_points`` section of the ``setup.py`` file (you might need to create that section, just follow the example of the ``setup.py`` file that you can find online in the base directory of our `bob.bio.base GitHub page <http://github.com/bioidiap/bob.bio.base>`__).

Currently, running Bob_ under MS Windows in not yet supported.
However, we found that running Bob_ in a virtual Unix environment such as the one provided by VirtualBox_ is a good alternative.
Installation via conda
Installation via pip
----------------------
The most simple and most convenient way to use the ``bob.bio`` tools is to install it using `conda <http://conda.pydata.org/docs/intro.html>`_.
We offer pre-compiled binary installations of Bob_ and ``bob.bio`` with conda.
After setting up your conda environment (you can find the instructions `here <https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/wikis/Installation>`_), use the sequence of commands to
first search the ``bob.bio`` in the conda-forge channel and then install it.

After setting up your python environment (you can find the instructions `here <https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob/wikis/Installation>`_), use the sequence of commands to
first search the ``bob.bio`` packages and then install it.
.. code-block:: sh
$ conda search bob.bio # searching
$ conda install bob.bio.base # Install the base package
$ pip search bob.bio # searching
$ pip install bob.bio.base # Install the base package
Installation via zc.buildout

With ``bob.bio`` you will run biometric recognition experiments using some default biometric recognition databases.
Though the verification protocols are implemented in ``bob.bio``, the original data are **not included**.
To download the original data of the databases, please refer to the according Web-pages.

After downloading the original data for the databases, you will need to tell ``bob.bio``, where these databases can be found.
For this purpose, we have decided to implement a special file, where you can set your directories.

To set the directory permanently, you can also change the ``atnt_default_directory`` in the file `bob/bio/base/test/utils.py <file:../bob/bio/base/test/utils.py>`_.
In this case, there is no need to set the environment variable any more.
In case any of the tests fail for unexplainable reasons, please file a bug report through the `GitHub bug reporting system`_.
