Installation

There are two ways to install tensorwaves. Even though the PyPI installation is the most convenient, we recommend following the interactive installation procedure.

Installation through PyPI

Attention

tensorwaves is currently under development, so there currently exists no PyPI package!

tensorwaves is available as a PyPI package so installation is super easy:

pip install tensorwaves

Et voilà, that’s it! You can try out whether the installation works by running:

import tensorwaves

from the Python interpreter. Note that PyPI only allows you to install specific releases, so we recommend using the more dynamic, ‘interactive installation’ instead.

Interactive installation

tensorwaves is an academic research project and is bound to continuously evolve. We therefore highly recommend installing tensorwaves from the source code, so that you work with the latest version.

Moreover, since you read as far as this, you must have an interest in partial-wave analysis, and it is researchers like you who can help bring this project further! So please, have a look through the following sections to set up this ‘interactive installation’:

• Get the source code
• Create a virtual environment
  • Conda environment
  • Python venv
• Build and install
  • Using setuptools
  • Developer Mode
  • Test the installation

After that, it’s worth having a look at the contribute tutorials!
