Installation Instructions
Installation into system Python environment
If you don’t mind installing PyIBIS-AMI into your system Python package library then installation is as simple as:
pip install pyibis-ami
Installation into custom virtual Python environment
If, instead, you’d prefer to confine the PyIBIS-AMI package to a virtual environment, thus protecting your system Python installation from it, then execute these commands, in order:
python3 -m venv ~/.venv/pyibisami (Creates a new Python virtual environment named “pyibisami”.)
. ~/.venv/pyibisami/bin/activate (on Windows: . ~/.venv/pyibisami/Scripts/activate) (Activates the new environment.)
At this point, you should begin seeing “(pyibisami)” at the beginning of your command prompt, indicating that you have activated your pyibisami Python virtual environment activated.
pip install pyibis-ami (Installs the PyIBIS-AMI package into your new virtual environment.)
Testing the installation
Either way, as a check on correct installation, run the following command:
python -c “import pyibisami”
And if you don’t get a traceback/error then you’ve installed the package successfully!
