Yayi 0.8.8.dev0

Linux Ubuntu

Ubuntu is shipped with its own package manager, and it is straightforward to install packages. An Ubuntu packate is under development, but currently Yayi needs to be built from the sources.

To install the dependencies of Yayi, type the following in a Terminal:

sudo apt-get install boost, cmake, python-numpy, python-pip, libjpeg8-dev, zlib1g-dev, libpng12-dev, libtiff4-dev, libhdf5-dev

and then just type (and wait)

pip install yayi

OSX

On OSX, a wheel package is provided and it contains all the dependencies (especially boost). If you are lucky the wheel is for your specific version of OSX/Python. If you are less lucky you should build Yayi from the sources. For that, first install the dependencies with eg.`brew`_

brew install boost
brew install cmake

and then just type the following (and wait):

# numpy should be installed on a default Mac
pip install numpy
pip install yayi

Win32

On Windows, binary packages (installer and wheel package) are provided, but for Python 2.7 64-bits only. If this is not your version of Python/Win architecture, then you need to build Yayi on your platform like the other platforms. However, you are kind of lucky because you are not obliged to use a specific toolchain for that (so you can build yayi with Visual 2013 community and you are not obliged to have Visual 2008 or some obsolete toolchain).

If you need to build Yayi, first install cmake and a binary version of boost (or build it yourself). Then you have two options:

• build yayi with setup.py

• build yayi from pip

With setup.py, extract the source and then type (and wait)

python setup.py build_cmake --boostroot=/my_boost/installation/location/boost_1_55/ install

With pip, this is almost the same, you have to pass the previous option like this:

pip install --upgrade --install-option "build_cmake" --install-option "--boostroot=/my_boost/installation/location/boost_1_55/" yayi-XXXX.tar.gz
