Requirements

Batoid is known to work on MacOS and linux, using Python version 3.6+, and either the clang or gcc compiler with support for c++11.

Installation

PyPI

Released versions of batoid are available on pypi as source distributions. This means you will need at least c++14 compiler available and that setup.py can find it. This should hopefully be the case on most *nix systems, in which case, the following ought to work::

pip install batoid

Github

If Pypi doesn't work, then you can try cloning the source from github and running setup.py. One minor hiccup in this case is that the batoid repo includes pybind11 as a submodule, so when cloning for the first time, a command similar to one of the following should be used ::

git clone --recurse-submodules [e-mail]:jmeyers314/batoid.git

or ::

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jmeyers314/batoid.git

Once the repo and the submodules have been cloned, then compile and install with ::

python setup.py install

or optionally ::

python setup.py install --user

Tests

To run the unit tests, from the batoid directory, first install the testing requirements ::

pip install -r test_requirements.txt

And then run the tests using setup.py ::

python setup.py test
