Installation

Steps to get pyspi up and running on your system.

1. Pre-Installation: Octave

---

The code requires GNU's Octave by default, which is freely available on all popular operating systems. See the installation instructions to find out how to install Octave on your system.

You can safely install pyspi without first installing Octave, but you will not have access to the Integrated Information Theory statistics.

Recommended: Create a conda environment

While you can also install pyspi outside of a conda environment, it depends on a lot of user packages that may make managing dependencies quite difficult. So, we would also recommend installing pyspi in a conda environment. After installing conda, create a new environment for using the toolkit:

$ conda create -n pyspi python=3.9.0
$ conda activate pyspi

2. Install with pip

---

To install pyspi, you can pip install using the following command:

pip install pyspi
