Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Pint has no dependencies except Python_ itself. In runs on Python 2.6 and 3.0+.
|
|
|
|
You can install it (or upgrade to the latest version) using pip_::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install -U pint
|
|
|
|
That's all! You can check that Pint is correctly installed by starting up python, and importing pint:
|
|
|
|
.. testcode::
|
|
|
|
>>> import pint # doctest: +SKIP
|
|
>>> pint.__version__ # doctest: +SKIP
|
|
|
|
.. note:: If you have an old system installation of Python and you don't want to
|
|
mess with it, you can try `Anaconda CE`_. It is a free Python distribution by
|
|
Continuum Analytics that includes many scientific packages. To install pint
|
|
from the conda-forge channel instead of through pip use:
|
|
$ conda install -c conda-forge pint
|
|
|
|
You can check the installation with the following command:
|
|
|
|
>>> pint.test() # doctest: +SKIP
|
|
|
|
|
|
On Arch Linux, you can alternatively install Pint from the Arch User Repository
|
|
(AUR). The latest release is available as `python-pint`_, and packages tracking
|
|
the master branch of the GitHub repository are available as `python-pint-git`_
|
|
and `python2-pint-git`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Getting the code
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can also get the code from PyPI_ or GitHub_. You can either clone the public repository::
|
|
|
|
$ git clone git://github.com/hgrecco/pint.git
|
|
|
|
Download the tarball::
|
|
|
|
$ curl -OL https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/tarball/master
|
|
|
|
Or, download the zipball::
|
|
|
|
$ curl -OL https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/zipball/master
|
|
|
|
Once you have a copy of the source, you can embed it in your Python package, or install it into your site-packages easily::
|
|
|
|
$ python setup.py install
