Installing matminer¶
Matminer requires Python 3.x (Python 2.x might work for some time, but the underlying pymatgen library is discontinuing Python 2 support in 2018).
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
