Installing analytix

This section will go through how to install analytix on your system.

Important

Python 3.6.0 or greater is required. There is no Python 2 support.

Creating a virtual environment

A virtual environment allows you to contain a project’s dependencies in a way that means no dependencies conflict with other projects. It is recommended that you create a virtual environment when working with analytix. To do this, run the following commands:

Linux/macOS/UNIX

python3 -m venv .venv
source ./.venv/bin/activate

Windows

py -3 -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate

Installing the lastest stable version

You can install the latest version of analytix by using the following command:

pip install analytix

Installing other versions

To install a specific version (for example, if you want to try the newest development releases or have a project that relies on version 1 of analytix), use the following command:

pip install analytix==1.2.2
# or...
pip install analytix==2.0.0.dev7
# etc.

Warning

Development versions may be unstable, and thus unsuitable for production environments.

Installing from source

You can also install analytix from source if you want to. Using this method, you can pull from a specific branch, like the develop or release/1.2.2 to install a version different from the latest stable one. You can do this using the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/parafoxia/analytix.git@branch_name
