Formerly vdmlab, renamed to emphasize general abilities of this library.

Getting started

If you don’t already have python 3, we recommend you download it using Miniconda from Continuum Analytics.

We recommend using a separate python environment.

Open a new terminal, create and activate a new conda environment:

conda create -n yourenv python=3.5
activate yourenv [Windows] or source activate yourenv [Linux]

Install package dependencies:

conda install matplotlib jupyter scipy numpy pandas seaborn pytest coverage

For Shapely, try:

pip install shapely

If that fails, in Windows, download the most recent wheel file here. Once downloaded, install with wheel.

pip install yourshapelyinstall.whl
