Installation

I recommend using conda to install Python packages. It comes shipped with Anaconda (or Miniconda for a smaller footprint), a Python distribution that allows to quickly configure a specific Python environment (e.g. specific package versions etc..).

  1. Install Anaconda or Miniconda.

  2. Create a new environment and activate it (choose an environment name you prefer, here ppol is chosen):

    conda create -n ppol python=3.7 obspy pandas pyyaml -c conda-forge
conda activate ppol

  3. Go to your prefered folder and download the repository:

    git clone https://gitlab.com/johnrobertscholz/ppol.git
cd ppol

  4. Install ppol:

    pip install .

Good news, everything is installed and ready to use! Remember to activate the ppol environment each time you want to use it.



If you’d like to introduce your own changes to the code, you may want to replace step 4 by:

  1. Install ppol:

    pip install -e .

thus creating symbolic links to the module files, avoiding having to re-compile after each code alteration.
