Installing srlife

srlife is available in the pypi package repository and can be installed with pip. srlife uses python3 and requires several additional python packages, all of which are available pypi.

srlife is compatible with python3 only.

Install using the pip package manager

The easiest way to install the package is to use the pip package manager, installing srlife from pypi automatically.

Linux

pip install srlife

MacOS

It is easiest to install srlife using a homebrew version of python, not the default system python.

Go to brew.sh and follow the directions to install homebrew.

Open up a terminal and run:

brew install python
pip3 install srlife

srlife will then be available as a package through the homebrew version of python (often available as python3 instead of python).

Install from the github repository directly

If you want to use the current development version of srlife or if you want to also obtain the tutorial, example, and test files you can install the package directly from github. In addition to the, cmake, BLAS, and LAPACK requirements you will need git and, optionally, the nose package to automatically run the tests.

Ubuntu Linux 20.04

The following installs the prerequisites, downloads srlife, sets up the python package, and runs the automated test suite.

sudo apt install build-essential cmake libblas-dev liblapack-dev python3-dev python3-setuptools python3-pip python3-nose
git clone https://github.com/Argonne-National-Laboratory/srlife.git
cd srlife
pip3 install --user wheel
pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt
nosetests3

Note the package is installed wherever the user executed the git clone command. Using the package outside this directory requires adding it to the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
