Nitime: an overview

Download and install

This page covers the necessary steps to install nitime. Below is a list of required dependencies, and some additional recommended software, which are dependencies for some particular functionality.

Dependencies

Must Have

Python 2.5 or later

NumPy 1.3 or later

SciPy 0.7 or later
Numpy and Scipy are high-level, optimized scientific computing libraries.
Matplotlib
Python plotting library. In particular, Nitime makes use of the matplotlib.mlab module for some implementation of numerical algorithms

Getting the latest release

If you have easy_install available on your system, nitime can be downloaded and install by issuing:

easy_install nitime

Otherwise, you can grab the latest release of the source-code at this page

Or, at the cheeseshop

If you want to download the source-code as it is being developed (pre-release), follow the instructions here: Following the latest source

Or, if you just want to look at the current development, without using our source version-control system, go here

Building from source

The installation process is similar to other Python packages so it will be familiar if you have Python experience.

Unpack the tarball and change into the source directory. Once in the source directory, you can build nitime using:

python setup.py install

Or:

sudo python setup.py install
