Installation

Official PyPI Package (Recommended)

The entropic-measurement package is now officially available on PyPI!

Quick Installation

pip install entropic-measurement

🔗 PyPI Package: https://pypi.org/project/entropic-measurement/

Verify Installation

python -c "import entropic_measurement; print('Installation successful!')"

Python Version Requirements

  • Python 3.8 or newer is required. Older Python versions are not supported.

Installing with pip (Detailed Steps)

  1. Ensure you have pip installed (python -m ensurepip --upgrade).
  2. Install the official package: 
    pip install entropic-measurement
  3. Verify installation: 
    python -c "import entropic_measurement; print(entropic_measurement.__version__)"

Installing from Source (Development)

For development or the latest unreleased features:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/rconstant1/entropic_measurement.git
cd entropic_measurement

  2. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

    python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

  3. Install dependencies:

    pip install .

    Or for development mode:

    pip install -e .

Virtual Environment (Recommended)

Using a virtual environment is recommended to avoid dependency conflicts:

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv entropic-env

# Activate (Linux/Mac)
source entropic-env/bin/activate

# Activate (Windows)
entropic-env\Scripts\activate

# Install package
pip install entropic-measurement

Troubleshooting

  • If 'pip' or 'python' commands fail, ensure your PATH includes your Python installation.
  • For permission errors, try adding --user or use a virtual environment.
  • If dependencies fail to install, check their documentation for platform-specific requirements or upgrade pip (python -m pip install --upgrade pip).
  • For issues running the module, check your Python version (python --version) and environment.
  • Package name: Make sure to use entropic-measurement (with hyphen) for pip install, not entropic_measurement.

Upgrading

To upgrade to the latest version:

pip install --upgrade entropic-measurement
