About NIXPY
-------------

The *NIXPY* project is an extension to [NIX](https://github.com/G-Node/nix) and provides Python bindings for *NIX*.

Development Status
------------------

The *NIXPY* project is now in a [Beta](https://github.com/G-Node/nixpy/releases) stage and should not be seen as a final product.

Getting Started (Linux)
-----------------------

- Boost (version 1.56 or higher)
- NIX (version 0.10.5 or higher)
- Python (version = 2.7.x) + python-setuptools + python-numpy (version >= 1.8.0)

_Instructions_

```bash
# install dependencies
sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev build-essential python-dev python-setuptools python-numpy

# clone NIX
git clone https://github.com/G-Node/nixpy
cd nix

# build nixpy
python setup.py build

# run the unit tests
python setup.py test

# install
sudo python setup.py install
```
