Installation
============

Requirements
------------

The following software is required before installing qmath:

* Python 2.x+ (http://www.python.org/)
* NumPy 1.x+ (http://new.scipy.org/download.html)

Download and Installation
-------------------------

The qmath setup files can be downloaded from the qmath download page or the Python Package Index. Download the source tarball from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/qmath.
Open a shell. Unpack the tarball in a temporary directory (not directly in Python's site-packages). Commands:

``$ tar zxf qmath-X.Y.Z.tar.gz``

X, Y and Z are the major and minor version numbers of the tarball.
Go to the directory created by expanding the tarball:

``$ cd qmath-X.Y.Z``

Get root privileges:

``$ su``

``(enter root password)``

To install for python type:

``$ python setup.py install``

If the python executable isn't on your path, you'll have to specify the complete path, such as /usr/local/bin/python.
