Running the Tests¶

There are two ways to run FURY tests:

From python interpreter:
```
$ from fury.tests import test
$ test()
```
From the command line. You need to be on the FURY package folder:
```
pytest -svv fury
```

Running the Tests Offscreen¶

FURY is based on VTK which uses OpenGL for all its rendering. For a headless rendering, we recommend to install and use Xvfb software on linux or OSX. Since Xvfb will require an X server (we also recommend to install XQuartz package on OSX). After Xvfb is installed you have 2 options to run FURY tests:

First option:

$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ Xvfb :0 -screen 1920x1080x24 > /dev/null 2>1 &
$ pytest -svv fury

Second option:

$ export DISPLAY=:0
$ xvfb-run --server-args="-screen 0 1920x1080x24" pytest -svv fury
