Installation Instructions:

• Required Packages

  Python (version 2.5+ recommended, tested with 2.7)

  Numpy (version 1.6?, tested with 1.6)

  GSL GNU Scientific library

  GHMM for mixtures of HMMs

  pylab for plotting functions in plotMixture.py

• How to install ?

  Extract the tarball to some directory of your choice. Change into the directory and run:

  python setup.py build python setup.py install –prefix=/some/where

  If you wish to pull down the github version you can use pip:

  pip install git+https://github.com/ajmendez/PyMix.git

  It is now part of pypi:

  pip install pymix

  After the installation is completed I would recommend to run mixtureunittests.py to check whether everything is in order.

  To get the GSL on OSX I recomend using homebrew to build the universal package so that it works with both the i386 version in EPD:

  brew install gsl –universal
