Installation

Prior to using pyGMM, Python and the following dependencies need to be installed:

• matplotlib – used for plotting
• numpy – fast vector operations

pyGMM supports both Python 2.7 and Python 3.

Linux

Install pyGMM dependencies is best accomplished with a package manager. On Arch Linux this can be accomplished with:

pacman -S python-numpy python-matplotlib pip

Windows and OS-X

On Windows, installing matplotlib and numpy can be simplified by using Miniconda3. Miniconda3 has installers for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, and OS-X.

After the installer is finished, install the required dependencies by opening a terminal. On Windows, this is best accomplished with Windows Key + r, enter cmd. Next enter the following command:

conda install --yes pip setuptools numpy matplotlib

On Windows, the text can copied and pasted if Quick Edit mode is enabled. To enable this feature, right click on the icon in the upper left portion of the window, and select Properties, and then check the Quick Edit Mode check box within the Edit Options group. Copy the text, and then paste it by click the right mouse button.

Installing pyGMM

After the dependencies have been installed, install or upgrade pyGMM using pip:

pip install --upgrade pygmm

This command can be re-run later to upgrade pyGMM to the latest version.
