Installation

PyQCstrc supports python version 3.7 and above.

PyQCstrc is available on the PyPI as binary wheels packages provided for common platforms, macOS, linux and Windows.

It is recommended to instal PyQCstrc into a virtual environment we will call myvenv.

python3 -m venv ~/myvenv
source ~/myvenv/bin/activate

The binary wheel packages of PyQCstrc can be then installed using PIP. PIP is the package installer for Python, and we recommend to upgrade pip and its related utilities before installing PyQCstrc.

pip install setuptools wheel pip --upgrade
pip install pyqcstrc

Installation has been tested on macOS (10.14), Linux (Ubuntu20.04, Fedora32 and CentOS8) and Windows 10.

Dependencies

Requirements:

  • Python packages (all installable using pip):

  • numpy (version>=1.20.0)

  • scipy (version>=1.6.0)

  • cython (version>=0.29.21)

Installation under Windows10

Python is not installed by default under Windows 10. We suggest you install Python3 from the official web page.

The virtual environment can be created using the venv module, which is done by executing the command:

python3 -m virtualenv myvenv

Once the virtual enviromen is created, activate it by executing a activate.bat script file:

myvenv\Scripts\activate.bat

Then, the PyQCstrc can be installed as described above.
