Installation¶
Camoco can be installed using the Python Package Index (pypi). This
process is typical for python packages and uses a shell tool called pip
to manage
software dependencies. Python requires that numpy
already be installed.:
$ pip install numpy
$ pip install camoco
Camoco does have a Python version requirement as well as a few dependencies in order to install successfully.
Note
Code blocks starting with $ designate shell commands.
Operating System Compatibilty¶
Camoco was built on and tested using Linux (Ubuntu 18.04). It is also suggested that you have a machine with at least 8Gb of usable RAM.
Python Version Requirement¶
Camoco requires python version 3.6+. If this differs from your system version of python, it is recommended that you install Camoco within a python virtual environment. We have had success using miniconda, which can be installed here.
Once miniconda is installed, create a virtual environment:
$ conda create -n camoco_env python=3.6
Follow the prompts on the screen. Next, activate the python virtual environment:
$ source activate camoco_env
Python should now be 3.6:
$ python --version
Python 3.6.8
Install Camoco as described above:
$ pip install numpy
$ pip install camoco
