Installation

We recommend installing pygeoflood into a conda environment. Python 3.10, 3.11, or 3.12 is required:

$ pip install pygeoflood

For the bleeding-edge version, install from GitHub:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/passah2o/pygeoflood

If you plan on running the Fill-Spill-Merge function to estimate pluvial flooding, you must also install a fork of the richdem package using the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/mdp0023/richdem.git richdem
$ cd richdem/wrappers/pyrichdem
$ pip install .

For local pygeoflood development, intall in editable mode:

$ git clone https://github.com/passah2o/pygeoflood
$ cd geoflood
$ pip install -e .
