Getting the dependencies
========================

The reference environment for pylearn-parsimony is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with
Python 2.7.3, Numpy 1.6.1 and Scipy 0.9.0. More recent versions likely
work, but have not been tested thoroughly.

Unless you already have Numpy and Scipy installed, you need to install them:

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy


In order to run the tests, you may also need to install Nose:

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo apt-get install python-nose


In order to show plots, you may need to install Matplotlib:

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib


Installing from github
======================

You can check out the latest sources with the command:

.. code-block:: bash

    git clone git@github.com:neurospin/pylearn-parsimony.git
    # or
    git clone https://github.com/neurospin/pylearn-parsimony.git

Then add ``pylearn-parsimony`` directory in your ``$PYTHONPATH``
