Installing matminer¶
Matminer requires Python 3.x (Python 2.x might work sporadically, but you may get errors for certain features and is unsupported. We really recommend you upgrade to Py3.x).
There are a couple of quick and easy ways to install matminer:
Install and update via pip¶
If you have installed pip, simply run the command in a bash terminal:
$ pip install matminer
or, to install matminer in your user home folder, run the command:
$ pip install matminer --user
To update matminer, simply type pip install --upgrade matminer
.
Install in development mode¶
To install from the latest source of the matminer code in developmental mode, clone the Git source:
$ git clone https://github.com/hackingmaterials/matminer.git
and then enter the cloned repository/folder to install in developer mode:
$ cd matminer
$ python setup.py develop
To update matminer, enter your cloned folder and type git pull
followed by python setup.py develop
