Installation

This chapter reviews a couple of different ways of installing PyKYLIE on your system.

Pre-requisites

PyKYLIE requires that the following Python packages are already present:

• NumPy

• SciPy

• Astropy

• PyMSG

If you opt to install from PyPI (below), then these pre-requisites should be taken care of automatically, with the exception of PyMSG (which must be installed manually before you try to install PyKYLIE).

Installing from PyPI

To install PyKYLIE from the Python Package Index (PyPI), use the pip command:

$ pip install pykylie

If PyKYLIE is already installed, you can upgrade to a more-recent version via

$ pip install --upgrade pykylie

Installing from Source

To install PyKYLIE from source, download the source code and unpack it from the command line using the tar utility:

$ tar xf pykylie-2.0.tar.gz

Then, use pip to install it:

$ pip install ./pykylie-2.0
