Installing SLOTH

A Dependencies

• matplotlib >= 0.99.3”,
• numpy >= 1.5.1”,
• scipy >= 0.8.0”

B installing on Ubuntu

To install sloth use:

user@ubuntu:~$ pip sloth

This should take care of the dependencies and make a clean install. You can now run:

user@ubuntu:~$ sloth-main.py

If this fails, make sure you have /usr/local/bin in your $PYTHONPATH.

C Installing on Mac

(tested for Mac OS Lion 10.7)

Firstly, you need to install Python. A good tutorial for step 1-3 can be found here: http://www.thisisthegreenroom.com/2011/installing-python-numpy-scipy-matplotlib-and-ipython-on-lion/

Also, get pip, which makes installing SLOTH really easy. For that follow these steps:

1. get Python if not already installed.
2. get easy_install
3. install pip

4. install the scipy superpack http://fonnesbeck.github.com/ScipySuperpack/

5. download SLOTH from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/SLOTH/0.0.8

6. Install SLOTH by typing:

user@mac:~$ pip /Downloads/sloth

start sloth by typing:

user@mac:~$ sloth-main.py
