Installation
============
Dependencies
------------
LinPy requires Python version 3.4 or above to work.
LinPy's one mandatory dependency is `isl `_ version 0.12 or 0.13 (it may work with other versions of isl, but this has not been tested).
isl can be downloaded `here `_ or preferably, using your favorite package manager.
For Debian or Ubuntu, the command to run is::
sudo apt-get install libisl-dev
For Arch Linux, run::
sudo pacman -S isl
Apart from isl, there are two optional dependencies that will maximize the use of LinPy's functions: `SymPy `_ and `matplotlib `_.
Please consult the `SymPy download page `_ and `matplotlib installation instructions `_ to install these libraries.
Install Using pip
-----------------
.. warning::
The project has not been published in PyPI yet, so this section is not relevant.
Instead, see the :ref:`install_source` section to install LinPy.
LinPy can be installed using pip with the command::
sudo pip install linpy
.. _install_source:
Install From Source
-------------------
Alternatively, LinPy can be installed from the source.
First, clone the public git repository::
git clone https://scm.cri.mines-paristech.fr/git/linpy.git
and build and install as usual with::
sudo python3 setup.py install
