Installation

In order to use openbandparams, you must having a working python distribution installed. Python 3 support has not yet been tested, so Python 2.7 is suggested. Here are a couple different ways to install openbandparams:

1. Download the latest release .zip or .tar.gz source package from the github page, extract its contents, and run python setup.py install from within the extracted directory (openbandparams is a pure-python library, so no compiling occurs during this installation).
2. Install from pypi by running pip install openbandparams from the command line.

Basic functionality has no prerequisites other than python, but several of the examples make use of numpy and matplotlib, so you may want to install them, as well.

Once you have openbandparams installed, check out the Tutorial to get acquainted.
