INSTALL

Ulmo depends on a lot of libraries from the scientific python stack (namely:
numpy, pytables and pandas) and lxml. There are a couple of ways to get these
dependencies installed but it can be tricky if doing it by hand. The simplest
way to get things up and running is to use a scientific python distribution that
will install everything together. A full list is available on `scipy.org`_
but `Anaconda`_ is recommended as it is the easiest to set up.

If you are using Anaconda then you can install ulmo with the following command:

    conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/ulmo ulmo

Otherwise, follow the instructions below:

Once the requisite scientific python libraries are installed are installed, the
most recent release of ulmo can be installed from pypi. Pip is a good way to do
that:

    pip install ulmo

Or easy_install:

    easy_install ulmo

To install the bleeding edge development version, grab a copy of the `source
code`_ and run setup.py from the root directory:

    python setup.py develop
