The recommended installation method for signac-dashboard is via conda or pip. The software is tested for Python versions 3.8+. Its primary dependencies are signac and flask. The signac framework uses the NEP 29 deprecation policy as a guideline for when to drop support for Python and NumPy versions, and does not guarantee support beyond the versions recommended in that proposal.
You can install signac-dashboard via conda (available on the conda-forge channel), with:
$ conda install -c conda-forge signac-dashboard
All additional dependencies will be installed automatically. To upgrade the package, execute:
$ conda update signac-dashboard
To install the package with the package manager pip, execute
$ pip install signac-dashboard --user
Note
It is highly recommended to install the package into the user space and not as superuser!
To upgrade the package, simply execute the same command with the --upgrade
option.
$ pip install signac-dashboard --user --upgrade
Alternatively you can clone the git repository and execute the setup.py
script to install the package.
git clone https://github.com/glotzerlab/signac-dashboard.git
cd signac-dashboard
git submodule update --init # This step is required!
python setup.py install --user
