Installing pysmo

Prerequisites

Pysmo is built on top of standard Python and uses some popular third party modules (e.g. NumPy, SciPy). In order to benefit from modern Python features and up to date modules, pysmo is developed on the latest stable Python versions. Automatic tests are typically run on the latest three stable Python releases on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

Pysmo is available as a package from the Python Package Index. This means it can be easily installed using the pip module:

$ python3 -m pip install pysmo

$ python3 -m pip install pysmo --pre

$ python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/pysmo/pysmo

Tip

It is possible to install the stable release alongside the development version. Please read the pysmo development documentation for instructions.

Upgrading

Upgrades to pysmo are also performed with the pip command:

python3 -m pip install -U pysmo

Uninstalling

To remove pysmo from the system run:

python3 -m pip uninstall pysmo

Note

Unfortunately pip currently does not remove dependencies that were automatically installed. We suggest running pip list to see the installed packages, which can then also be removed using pip uninstall.
