Installation

mmappickle can be installed either using pip, or from source.

Since mmappickle requires Python 3, you should ensure that you’re using the correct pip executable. On some distributions, the executable is named pip3.

It is possible to check the Python version of pip using:

pip -V

Similarly, you may need to use py.test-3 instead of py.test.

Installing using pip

To install using pip, simply run:

pip install mmappickle

Manual installation from source

To install manually, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/UniNE-CHYN/mmappickle
cd mmappickle
pip install .

To contribute, use pip install -e instead of pip install. This sets a link to the source folder in the python installation, instead of copying the files.

It is advisable to run the tests to ensure that everything is working. This can be done by running the following command in the mmappickle directory:

py.test
