You need a C++ compiler that sufficiently supports a C++11 standard, i.e. GCC >= 5, or, recommended, LLVM >= 7; cf.
$ g++ --version
You need python and pip installed on your computer.
On a Linux OS, you may need to separately install Python's header files, e.g.
with apt (Ubuntu, or Debian):
$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
or with yum (CentOS, Red Hat, Fedora):
$ sudo yum install python-devel
To install requirements for the wrappers execute from this folder:
$ make install_requirements
which should install all tools needed to build Cython wrappers and to test them.
Note: for pip installation of packages Makefile forces by default --user
flag (w/ no path). You can override that behaviour by setting or passing
directly to make command PIP_INSTALL_FLAGS="..." variable.
To build the wrappers run from this folder:
$ make all
To install the wrappers from the folder run:
$ make install
Optionally, to generate separate HTML docs for the installed package run:
$ make doc_html
Note that the output folder given is relative to the doc/ folder.
If the previous commands do not work, then run:
$ make
$ python setup.py install --user
Also, make sure that you have successfully installed prerequisites, in particular that the
pytest and sphinx binaries are visible; try:
$ which py.test
$ which sphinx-build
If these return empty strings, instead of paths to the installed binaries, then modify
your PATH environmental variable to include paths of the local installation binaries.
If your packages end up in a wrong Python's version folder (e.g. ver. 3 instead of the default ver. 2), then use an explicit pip binary matching you default Python version, e.g.:
$ make install_requirements all install PIP=pip2
Alternatively, you can build, package and install from the package by running:
$ make install_pkg
To remove build and packaging files run:
$ make clean
To uninstall the package from your system run:
$ make uninstall
