Installing pyfusion on Ubuntu Linux¶
Release: | 0.81 |
---|---|
Date: | February 01, 2017 |
This procedure has been tested for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit and assumes you have sudo privileges.
Required¶
Numpy provides optimised linear algebra libraries used by pyfusion:
sudo apt-get install python-numpy
Recommended¶
Ipython is an interactive python environment which is much more convenient to use than the default python shell:
sudo apt-get install ipython
Nose is used for testing python code in development:
sudo apt-get install python-nose
Installing pyfusion¶
At present, the recommended method of installing pyfusion is from the code repository. You’ll need a directory in your PYTHONPATH to install to, eg:
mkdir -p $HOME/code/python
echo "export PYTHONPATH=\$PYTHONPATH:\$HOME/code/python" >> $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.bashrc
Install the git distributed version control system:
sudo apt-get install git-core
Make a clone of the pyfusion repository in your python path:
cd $HOME/code/python
git clone http://github.com/dpretty/pyfusion.git
Until version 1.0 of the code, we’ll be using the dev branch, so you need to check it out:
cd pyfusion
git checkout -b dev origin/dev
