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:

  1. python3 -m venv ~/.venv/pyibisami (Creates a new Python virtual environment named “pyibisami”.)

  2. . ~/.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.

  3. 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!
