Installation

To install the latest release of PyRCS at PyPI via pip:

pip install --upgrade pyrcs

To install the more recent version hosted directly from GitHub repository:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/mikeqfu/pyrcs.git

To test if PyRCS is correctly installed, try importing the package via an interpreter shell:

>>> import pyrcs

>>> pyrcs.__version__  # Check the current release
The current release version is: 0.2.12

Note

  • If using a virtual environment, ensure that it is activated.

  • To ensure you get the most recent version, it is always recommended to add --upgrade (or -U) to pip install.

  • The package has not yet been tested with Python 2. For users who have installed both Python 2 and Python 3, it would be recommended to replace pip with pip3. But you are more than welcome to volunteer testing the package with Python 2 and any issues should be logged/reported onto the Issues page.

  • For more general instructions, check the “Installing Packages”.
