Installation¶
Installing pypillometry and its dependencies is automated and can be done by running the following lines (on Mac OS X or Linux).
$ git clone https://github.com/ihrke/pypillometry.git
$ cd pypillometry
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
pypillometry is on PyPI and released versions can be installed with pip (this will also install the dependencies automatically):
$ pip install pypillometry
(link to the PyPI project page).
It is also possible to install the developer’s version directly from github using pip
$ pip install git+https://github.com/ihrke/pypillometry.git
Requirements¶
pypillometry requires Python3 and a range of standard numerical computing packages (all of which listed in the file requirements.txt)
It is useful to access pypillometry through Jupyter or Jupyter Notebook, so installing those packages is also useful but not necessary.
All requirements can be installed by running pip install -r requirements.txt.
Virtual environments¶
It can sometimes be useful to install a new package in a new virtual environment using either Python’s virtual environments or conda.
$ conda create -n pypil python=3
$ conda activate pypil
$ conda install anaconda
The anaconda package contains all the requirements except cmdstanpy which can be installed from conda-forge
$ conda install -c conda-forge cmdstanpy
CmdStanPy¶
pypillometry uses cmdstanpy to interface with the Stan probabilistic programming language. cmdstanpy is a Python interface to the CmdStan command-line interface to Stan.
Please refer to the CmdStanPy documentation for more information on how to install and use it.
