OpenPIV would not have been possible if other great open source projects did not exist. We make extensive use of code and tools that other people have created, so you should install them before you can use OpenPIV.
The dependencies are:
<<<<<<< HEAD * Python 2.7 or 3.6 ======= * Python >>>>>>> 2d4f48449c80e4fc0fd28dbaa87727a03ce5a992 * Scipy * Numpy * Cython * scikit-image
<<<<<<< HEAD The following distributions that include Python with the required libraries are recommended for easy installations of dependencies: ======= On all platforms, the following Python distribution is recommended: >>>>>>> 2d4f48449c80e4fc0fd28dbaa87727a03ce5a992
* Anaconda <https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/> <<<<<<< HEAD * PythonXY <https://code.google.com/p/pythonxy/> * WinPython <http://winpython.sourceforge.net/>
On a Linux platform installing these dependencies should not be tricky. Often, if not always, python is installed by default, while the other dependencies should appear in your package manager.
Thanks for the issue raised on our Github page, the Ubuntu installation should work as:
sudo apt-get install cython python-numpy python-scipy
pip2.7 install OpenPIV
conda install -c conda-forge openpiv
Should include all the missing packages and automatically build the dependenices.
On Windows all these dependencies, as well as several other useful packages, can be installed using one of the aforementioned distributions, e.g. Anaconda, PythonXY. Note: Install it in Custom Directories, without spaces in the directory names (i.e. Program Files are prohibited), e.g. `C:Pythonxy`
The binary (32 or 64 bit) Enthought Python Distribution (EPD) or Anaconda are recommended. Note: if you use EPD Free distribution, you need to add and install Cython from http://www.cython.org ======= >>>>>>> 2d4f48449c80e4fc0fd28dbaa87727a03ce5a992
Use conda :
conda install -c conda-forge openpivOr use pip :
pip install numpy cython
pip install openpiv --preIn Python 3 the project changed name to progressbar2 package. Install it separately using pip
pip install progressbar2
Or using Conda:
conda install progressbar2
We will remove this requirement in the future, so don't be surprised it if just works without progressbar.
At this moment the only way to get OpenPIV's source code is using git. Git Git is a distributed revision control system and our code is hosted at GitHub.
If you are interested in the source code you are welcome to browse out git repository stored at https://github.com/alexlib/openpiv-python. If you want to download the source code on your machine, for testing, you need to set up git on your computer. Please look at http://help.github.com/ which provide extensive help for how to set up git.
To follow the development of OpenPIV, clone our repository with the command:
git clone http://github.com/openpiv/openpiv-python.gitand update from time to time. You can also download a tarball containing everything.
Then add the path where the OpenPIV source are to the PYTHONPATH environment variable, so that OpenPIV module can be imported and used in your programs. Remeber to build the extension with :
python setup.py build_ext --inplace If you encountered some issues, found difficult to install OpenPIV following these instructions please register and write to openpiv-users@googlegroups.com , so that we can help you and improve this page!
