The minimal working python version is 2.7.x. or 3.4.x

beem can be installed parallel to python-steem.

For Debian and Ubuntu, please ensure that the following packages are installed:

pkg install clang openssl-dev python-dev

Signing and Verify can be fasten (200 %) by installing cryptography:

pip install -U cryptography

Install beem by pip:

pip install -U beem

You can install beem from this repository if you want the latest but possibly non-compiling version:

git clone https://github.com/holgern/beem.git
cd beem
python setup.py build

python setup.py install --user

Run tests after install:

pytest

Installing beem with conda-forge

Installing beem from the conda-forge channel can be achieved by adding conda-forge to your channels with:

conda config --add channels conda-forge

Once the conda-forge channel has been enabled, beem can be installed with:
