Installation¶
PyRayT requires Python 3.7 or 3.8. If you do not already have a Python interpreter configured on your computer, please see the instructions for installing the full scientific Python stack.
Below we assume you have the default Python environment already configured on your computer and you intend to install pyrayt
inside of it. If you want to create and work with Python virtual environments, please follow instructions on venv and virtual environments.
First, make sure you have the latest version of pip
(the Python package manager) installed. If you do not, refer to the Pip documentation and install pip
first.
Installing the Released Version¶
Install the current release of pyrayt
with pip
:
py -m pip install pyrayt
To upgrade to a newer release use the --upgrade
flag:
py -m pip install --upgrade pyrayt
If you do not have permission to install software systemwide, you can install into your user directory using the –user flag:
py -m pip install --user pyrayt
Verify the installation by opening a python prompt and importing the top-level modules:
import pyrayt
import tinygfx.g3d
If both commands run without error, PyRayT has been successfully installed.
