pygimli 1.5.1.post1

Geophysical modelling and inversion library

pyGIMLi is an open-source library for modelling and inversion and in geophysics. The object-oriented library provides management for structured and unstructured meshes in 2D and 3D, finite-element and finite-volume solvers, various geophysical forward operators, as well as Gauss-Newton based frameworks for constrained, joint and fully-coupled inversions with flexible regularization.

What is pyGIMLi suited for?

• analyze, visualize and invert geophysical data in a reproducible manner
• forward modelling of (geo)physical problems on complex 2D and 3D geometries
• inversion with flexible controls on a-priori information and regularization
• combination of different methods in constrained, joint and fully-coupled inversions
• teaching applied geophysics (e.g. in combination with Jupyter notebooks)

What is pyGIMLi NOT suited for?

• for people that expect a ready-made GUI for interpreting their data

Installation

Before you start, considering its not a bad idea to use virtual environments, so give this a try:

python -m venv pygimli
source pygimli/bin/activate

To install pygimli from the test repository:

python -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple pygimli

You might add the 'all' option to install also optional dependencies.

python -m pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple pygimli['all']

You can see if the installation was successful:

python -c 'import pygimli as pg; pg.version()'
