Installation¶
Prerequisites¶
Hector requires Boost, so to install and use pyhector you need to have the filesystem and system modules of Boost version 1.52 or later installed (see also the Hector build instructions).
On Ubuntu/Debian these can be installed by invoking
sudo apt-get install libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-system-dev
On macOS Boost is available through the Homebrew package manager, it might be advisable to use a Homebrew installed Python for installing pyhector:
brew install boost
Windows is (as Hector) in principle supported but not yet tested for pyhector. Pull request with installation notes for Windows are welcome.
