Installation

PySlurm requires the Slurm development headers and shared library at build time.

Slurm header and library paths

If you have slurm-devel installed in the default paths, skip this section.

By default, PySlurm looks in:

• /usr/include — for Slurm header files (slurm/slurm.h)
• /usr/lib64 — for the Slurm shared library (libslurmfull.so)

If your Slurm installation is not in the default paths, set these before installing:

export SLURM_INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/slurm/include
export SLURM_LIB_DIR=/path/to/slurm/lib

From PyPI

pip install pyslurm

From source

git clone https://github.com/PySlurm/pyslurm.git && cd pyslurm
scripts/build.sh

Use -j to build with multiple cores (or set PYSLURM_BUILD_JOBS):

scripts/build.sh -j4
