Dependencies¶

The project has a few common Python package dependencies. The runtime dependencies are:

wheel==0.29.0
setuptools==25.0.0

the build time dependencies (also required for development) are:

codecov==2.0.5
coverage==4.1
cython==0.24.1
flake8==3.0.0
nose==1.3.7
six==1.10.0

The same compiler toolchain used to build the CPython interpreter should also be available. For example, on Ubuntu Linux, this can be installed with:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

On Mac OSX, install XCode to build packages for the system Python.

Download standard CMake binaries for your platform or build from source with a C++ compiler if binaries are not available.
