📦 PyPI package: https://pypi.org/project/thermopt/

🚀 User installation (via PyPI)

If you just want to use ThermoOpt, the easiest way is to install it from PyPI:

pip install thermopt

You can then verify the installation with:

python -c "import thermopt; thermopt.print_package_info()"

🛠️ Developer installation (from source with Poetry)

This guide walks you through installation for development using Poetry, which manages both dependencies and virtual environments automatically.

1. Install Poetry package manager Follow the official guide: Poetry Installation
   Then verify the installation:

   poetry --version
   

2. Clone the repository from GitHub

   git clone https://github.com/turbo-sim/thermopt.git
   

3. Navigate to the project directory

   cd thermopt
   

4. Install the package using Poetry

   poetry install
   

5. Verify the installation

   poetry run python -c "import thermopt; thermopt.print_package_info()"
   

   If the installation was successful, you should see output similar to:

📂 Examples

The examples directory contains a variety of ready-to-run thermodynamic cycle cases, covering different working fluids and applications.

Each example:

• Is defined in a .yaml input file
• Is executed via a corresponding run_optimization.py script
• Outputs results in a subdirectory called results/

To run any example, navigate to the corresponding subfolder and execute the optimization script.
