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
