Installing the library

This chapter presents the steps to build the library, run the tests, generate the test coverage report and finally produce this automatic documentation.

Pre-built binaries are available on both PyPI and conda-forge, so most users do not need to compile anything. pip install pyinterp will fetch a wheel for Linux (manylinux_2_28 x86_64 / aarch64), macOS (arm64) or Windows (x86_64) when one matches your interpreter; otherwise pip falls back to building from source, which requires CMake, a C++20 compiler, Boost and Eigen. conda install -c conda-forge pyinterp is an alternative that always installs binaries together with their compiled dependencies. Building the library by hand is documented for contributors and for platforms that are not covered by the published wheels.
