Environmentally-driven population dynamics model of Aedes albopictus

Environmentally-driven population dynamics model of Aedes albopictus

This is a python (v2.7) package implementing the environmentally-driven population dynamics model of Aedes albopictus.

Contents

1. Prerequisites

2. Linux installation

3. Usage

1) Prerequisites

The model requires the following packages, which are not included in this package:

numpy pkg_resources

2) Linux installation

1. Easy way:

If you have pip installed, you can use the following command to download and install the package.

pip install albopictus

Alternatively, you can download the source code from PyPI and run pip on the latest version xxx.

pip install albopictus-xxx.tar.gz

2. Hard way:

If pip is not available, you can unpack the package contents and perform a manual install.

tar -xvzf albopictus-xxx.tar.gz cd albopictus-xxx python setup.py install

This will install the package in the site-packages directory of your python distribution. If you do not have root privileges or you wish to install to a different directory, you can use the –prefix argument.

python setup.py install –prefix=<dir>

In this case, please make sure that <dir> is in your PYTHONPATH, or you can add it with the following command.
