Getting started

If you don’t already have python 3, we recommend you download it using Miniconda from Continuum Analytics.

We recommend using a separate python environment.

Open a new terminal, create and activate a new conda environment:

conda create -n yourenv python=3.5
activate yourenv [Windows] or source activate yourenv [Linux]

Install package dependencies:

conda install matplotlib jupyter scipy numpy pandas pytest coverage

For Shapely, try:

pip install shapely

If that fails, in Windows, download the most recent wheel file here. Once downloaded, install with wheel.

pip install yourshapelyinstall.whl

Installation

Clone nept from Github and use a developer installation:

git clone https://github.com/vandermeerlab/nept.git

Set up a developer installation:

cd nept
python setup.py develop

All set! You’re ready to start using the nept module.

import nept
