Installation

If you are using a virtualenv, ensure that the virtualenv is activated.

To install the latest release of pyrcs at PyPI via pip on Windows Command Prompt (CMD) or Linux/Unix terminal.

pip install --upgrade pyrcs

If you would like to try the more recent version under development, install it from GitHub

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

To test if pyrcs is correctly installed, try importing the package from an interpreter shell:

>>> import pyrcs
>>> pyrcs.__version__  # Check the current release
0.2.8

Note

  • To ensure you get the most recent version, it is always recommended to add --upgrade (or -U) to pip install.
  • pyrcs has not yet been tested with Python 2. For users who have installed both Python 2 and 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 web page of “Issues”.
  • For more general instructions, check the web page of “Installing Packages”.
