homebrew-quantstack

🍺 Homebrew tap for QuantStack packages

Installation

How to add this tap

Add this tap to your Homebrew installation via:

brew tap matteosecli/quantstack

How to install packages

After having added this tap, you can install the package you want via:

brew install matteosecli/quantstack/<package>

or (only if <package> is not already in some other tap)

brew install <package>

xeus-cling

To install xeus-cling, use:

brew install xeus-cling

xtensor

To install xtensor, use:

brew install matteosecli/quantstack/xtensor

⚠️ do not install xtensor or xsimd via brew install xtensor|xsimd, you have to always specify the matteosecli/quantstack/ bit! Otherwise, those packages get installed from homebrew/core and mess up with this tap.

xwidgets

To install xwidgets, use:

brew install xwidgets

Note that in order to actually use xwidgets in Jupyter, you have to install the corresponding front-end extension in Jupyter itself; the xwidgets package does not install Jupyter, but it tries to install a Jupyter Classic Notebook front-end extension that another or a future installation of Jupyter can find.

It's highly recommended that you install Jupyter as well, e.g. via Homebrew:

brew install jupyterlab

and check that the command jupyter nbextension list outputs somethink like (assuming that Homebrew links in /usr/local/):

$ jupyter nbextension list
Known nbextensions:
  [...]
  config dir: /usr/local/etc/jupyter/nbconfig
    notebook section
      jupyter-js-widgets/extension  enabled 
      - Validating: OK
  [...]

If that's not the case, you have to manually install the extension (use brew info xwidgets for instructions).

If instead you already have jupyter-js-widgets/extension enabled in your Jupyter because maybe you already use something like ipywidgets in Classic Notebook, then you should be set-up as well and you can ignore the brew link warnings about the extension files.

If instead you prefer JupyterLab over Classic Notebook, install the "@jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager" extension in JupyterLab's graphical extension manager or via the command line:

jupyter labextension install @jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

• Since I do not provide bottles, things are installed from source. That could take a while.
• If you want to avoid messing up with packages from other taps, always install via brew install matteosecli/quantstack/<package>
