Installation¶
Stable release¶
To install unyt, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install unyt
If you have a C compiler available, we also suggest installing fastcache, which will improve the performance of SymPy.
If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
If you use conda, unyt is available via conda-forge:
$ conda install -c conda-forge unyt
It is not necessary to explicitly install fastcache if you use conda
because it will be installed automatically as a dependency of SymPy.
From source¶
The sources for unyt can be downloaded from the Github repo.
You can either clone the public repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/yt-project/unyt
Or download the tarball:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/yt-project/unyt/tarball/master
Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it by navigating to the root of the installation and issuing the following command:
$ pip install .
If you would like to make an “editable” where you can directly edit the
Python source files of the installed version of unyt, then you can do:
$ pip install -e .
