Installation¶
Requirements¶
Python >= 3.6.0
Short version¶
pip install nabo
Long version¶
To use Nabo you need the Python programming language, version 3.6 or upwards, installed.
Step 1:
First, check whether you already have Python installed. To do so you need to open a terminal window (aka command prompt).
- On Linux: Pressing key combination
Ctrl+Alt+T
together works on most Linux distributions. - On Windows: Press
Win+R
keys on your keyboard. Then, typecmd
and press Enter. - On MacOS: Press
CMD+Space
to open spotlight search, and typeterminal
and hit RETURN.
Step 2:
Okay, once you have got a terminal window open, type python --version
and press ENTER:
Now you may see one of the following three kinds of output:
- If your output shows you have Python 3.6.1 or a more recent version. In this case, you are good to go and you can skip Step 3.
- If you have an earlier version than 3.6, for example 3.5 or 2.7, then see step 3.
- If you see an error containing words not found or not recognized then most likely you do not have a Python version installed on your system. Move to step 3.
Step 3:
To install the latest version of Python, we suggest using Miniconda. Download appropriate version based on your operating system from here: https://conda.io/miniconda.html (version Python 3.6 or above).
If you are confused about 64-bit or 32-bit see this nice post.
Once you have downloaded Miniconda please follow their instructions here to install it.
Once installed, please confirm that you now have a Python version equal to or greater than 3.6.0 by typing python --version
in your terminal.
Step 4:
Now, in your terminal, type this to install the latest version of Nabo:
pip install nabo
