InstallationΒΆ

ChaosMagPy relies on the following (some are optional):

  • python>=3.6

  • numpy<=1.26 (loading MAT-files fails in v2.0, waiting for fix in hdf5storage)

  • scipy

  • pandas

  • cython

  • h5py

  • hdf5storage>0.1.17

  • pyshp>=2.3.1

  • matplotlib>=3.6 (optional, used for plotting)

  • lxml (optional, used for downloading latest RC-index file)

Specific installation steps using the conda/pip package managers are as follows:

  1. Install packages with conda:

    >>> conda install python "numpy<2" scipy pandas cython pyshp h5py matplotlib lxml
    
  2. Install remaining packages with pip:

    >>> pip install hdf5storage
    
  3. Finally install ChaosMagPy either with pip from PyPI:

    >>> pip install chaosmagpy
    

    Or, if you have downloaded the distribution archives from the Python Package Index (PyPI) at https://pypi.org/project/chaosmagpy/#files, install ChaosMagPy using the built distribution:

    >>> pip install chaosmagpy-x.x-py3-none-any.whl
    

    replacing x.x with the relevant version, or using the source distribution:

    >>> pip install chaosmagpy-x.x.tar.gz
