Installing SpacePyΒΆ
SpacePy uses the standard Python distutils to compile and install. For detailed, platform-specific installation instructions, see:
For a list of dependencies, see SpacePy Dependencies.
Following are generic instructions.
Option 1) to install it in a standard location (depending on your system):
python setup.py install
or:
sudo python setup.py install
or:
python setup.py install --user
If you do not have administrative privileges, or you will be developing for SpacePy, the latter is recommended.
Option 2) to install in custom location, e.g.:
python setup.py install --home=/n/packages/lib/python
It is also possible to select a specific compiler for installing the IRBEM-LIB library as part of SpacePy. Currently the following flags are supported: gnu95, gnu, pg. You can invoke these by using one of the following commands below but not all of them are supported on all platforms:
python setup.py install --fcompiler=pg
#(will use pgi compiler suite)python setup.py install --fcompiler=gnu
#(will use g77)python setup.py install --fcompiler=gnu95
#(default option for using gfortran)
