Installation¶
Since emcee
is a pure Python module, it should be pretty easy to install.
All you’ll need numpy. There are a bunch of
different ways to install and I’ll mention a few below but by far the best
is to install into a virtual environment
using pip.
Using pip¶
The easiest way to install the most recent stable version of emcee
is
with pip:
$ pip install emcee
You might need to run this using sudo
depending on your Python
installation. You can also use easy_install
:
$ easy_install emcee
but pip
is probably better.
From source¶
Alternatively, you can get the source by downloading a tarball:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/dfm/emcee/tarball/master
or zip archive:
$ curl -OL https://github.com/dfm/emcee/zipball/master
Once you’ve downloaded and unpacked the source, you can navigate into the root source directory and run:
$ python setup.py install
