Installation¶
Although xtensor-python
is a header-only library, we provide standardized means to install it, with package managers or with cmake.
Besides the xtendor-python headers, all these methods place the cmake project configuration file in the right location so that third-party projects can use cmake’s find_package to locate xtensor-python headers.
Using the conda package¶
A package for xtensor-python is available on the conda package manager.
conda install -c conda-forge xtensor-python
Using the Debian package¶
A package for xtensor-python is available on Debian.
sudo apt-get install xtensor-python-dev
From source with cmake¶
You can also install xtensor-python
from source with cmake. On Unix platforms, from the source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
make install
On Windows platforms, from the source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
nmake
nmake install
See the section of the documentation on build-options, for more details on how to cmake options.
