Installing Pyokit

Dependencies

Pyokit depends on rpy2 for some of its functionality. You don’t strictly need it, Pyokit can be installed without it, but if you don’t have it some functionality will not be supported.

Installing from PyPI

Pyokit is available from the Python package index. The easiest way to install it is to use pip. Note that You may need to prefix certain commands below with sudo if you’re installing to the global python installation.

1. Get pip (if you don’t already have it):

   wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
   python get-pip.py
   

   This will install pip for you. if python doesn’t point to the version of python you want to use, then replace it with the full path to the one you prefer (you’ll probably have to do that if you don’t have admin. access on the machine you’re using).

2. Now you can install pyokit:

   pip install pyokit
   

   ... and you’re done.

Installing from source

The bleeding-edge version can always be cloned from the GitHub repository (www.github.com/pjuren/pyokit), where tagged releases can also be downloaded as .tar.gz files. If you take this route, you will still need pip (see above if you don’t have it). After unpacking the distribution (or cloning the repository), cd into the newly created directory and then

1. Build the distribution package:

   python setup.py sdist
   

2. Install the distribution:

   pip install --no-index dist/pyokit-a.b.c.tar.gz
   

   where a.b.c is the version you downloaded.
