Installation¶
pip¶
For a traditional Python installation of Ephemeris, first set up a virtualenv
for ephemeris
(this example creates a new one in .venv
) and then
install with pip
.
$ virtualenv .venv; . .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install ephemeris
When installed this way, ephemeris can be upgraded as follows:
$ . .venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -U ephemeris
To install or update to the latest development branch of Ephemeris with pip
,
use the following pip install
idiom instead:
$ pip install -U git+git://github.com/galaxyproject/ephemeris.git
Conda¶
Another approach for installing Ephemeris is to use Conda (most easily obtained via the Miniconda Python distribution). Afterwards run the following commands.
$ conda config --add channels bioconda
$ conda install ephemeris
