Installation Guide

Conda Environments

A download and install guide to conda can be found on http://conda.pydata.org/docs/download.html, and a really good description of first steps with conda are described here: http://conda.pydata.org/docs/test-drive.html

I highly recommend to download the conda version, which contains python 3.5. If you do so, you need to create a conda environment to execute exciting python 2 EXCITINGSCRIPTS commands in:

conda create --name exciting python=2.7

Next, you have to install some basic packages in this environment:

source activate exciting
conda install lxml numpy

Then, before running commands from the EXCITINGSCRIPTS, you have to activate the environment:

source activate exciting

Install excalibr from Github

To obtain excalibr, you first need a github (www.github.com) account. Then, you generate a new python 3.5 environment with conda:

conda create --name pm_dev

Activate it and install pip:

source activate pm_dev
conda install pip

You can then clone the code:

git clone -b master https://github.com/vorwerkc/excalibr.git

Change into the directory and pip install it:

cd ./excalibr
pip install -e .
