Installation¶
Install with pip¶
The easiest way to install pynix
is from pypi.org using pip. The
project name on pypi.org
is libpynix
, so the canonical insallation command
would be:
pip install libpynix
However, depending on your distribution, you may need:
sudo pip install libpynix
if you wish to in a system global location (e.g.
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages
), or:
pip install --user libpynix
if you wish to install in a user global location (e.g.
~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
) which I would probably recommend for
most users.
Install from source¶
You can also install from source with pip. You can download a release package from github or pypi and then install it directly with pip. For example:
pip install libpynix-<version>.tar.gz
Note that the release packages on github are automatically generated from git
tags which are the same commit used to generate the corresponding version
package on pypi.org
. So whether you install a particular version from
github or pypi shouldn’t matter. They should be the exact same file.
Pip can also install directly from github. For example:
pip install git+https://github.com/cheshirekow/pynix.git
If you wish to test a pre-release or dev package from a branch called
foobar
you can install it with:
pip install "git+https://github.com/cheshirekow/pynix.git@foobar"
