Installation

To install the latest release of PyRCS from PyPI by using pip:

pip install --upgrade pyrcs

To install a more recent version of PyRCS hosted on GitHub repository:

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

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

>>> import pyrcs

>>> pyrcs.__version__  # Check the current release
The current release version is: 0.2.15

Note

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

  • It is recommended to add --upgrade (or -U) when you use pip install (see the instruction above) so as to get the latest stable release of the package.

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

  • PyRCS 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.
