This documentation covers downloading and installing PhyKIT. Details about each function as well as tutorials for using PhyKIT are available in the online documentation.

Quick Start

# install

phykit <function> <input file>

Installation

If you are having trouble installing PhyKIT, please contact the lead developer, Jacob L. Steenwyk, via email or twitter to get help.

To install using pip, we strongly recommend building a virtual environment to avoid software dependency issues. To do so, execute the following commands:

# create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# install phykit
pip install phykit

Note, the virtual environment must be activated to use phykit.

After using PhyKIT, you may wish to deactivate your virtual environment and can do so using the following command:

# deactivate virtual environment
deactivate

Similarly, to install from source, we strongly recommend using a virtual environment. To do so, use the following commands:

# download
git clone https://github.com/JLSteenwyk/PhyKIT.git
cd PhyKIT/
# create virtual environment
python -m venv .venv
# activate virtual environment
source .venv/bin/activate
# install
make install

To deactivate your virtual environment, use the following command:

# deactivate virtual environment
deactivate

Note, the virtual environment must be activated to use phykit.

To install via anaconda, execute the following command:
