2. Installation

Get the latest version of Thermosteam from PyPI. If you have an installation of Python with pip, simple install it with:

$ pip install thermosteam

To get the git version and install it, run:

$ git clone --depth 100 git://github.com/BioSTEAMDevelopmentGroup/thermosteam
$ cd thermosteam
$ pip install .

We use the depth option to clone only the last 100 commits. Thermosteam has a long history, so cloning the whole repository (without using the depth option) may take over 30 min.

2.1. Common Issues

  • Cannot install/update Thermosteam:

    If you are having trouble installing or updating Thermosteam, it may be due to dependency issues. You can bypass these using:

    $ pip install --user --ignore-installed thermosteam
    

    You can make sure you install the right version by including the version number:

    $ pip install thermosteam==<version>
