Installation#

Install from Source#

The PyGOM source code is available from GitHub:

ukhsa-collaboration/pygom

Clone the repository#

git clone https://github.com/ukhsa-collaboration/pygom.git

Create and activate an environment#

If you require support for compartmental model diagrams, create (and activate) a Conda environment with Graphviz installed:

conda create -n pygom-env python=3.11 graphviz
conda activate pygom-env

If visualisation is not required, you may use a standard Conda environment or a Python virtual environment (venv).

Install PyGOM#

Navigate to the project root

cd pygom

If you wish to install from a specific branch, switch to it prior to installation:

git checkout <branch-name>

Install PyGOM

python -m pip install .

For development work, an editable install can instead be used

python -m pip install -e .

To build the documentation locally, install the additional documentation dependencies:

python -m pip install -e ".[docs]"

Note

Please be aware that there may be redundant files within the package as it is under active development. The latest fully reviewed version of PyGOM will be on the master branch and we recommend that users install the version from there.

Install from PyPI#

Alternatively, install the latest released version directly from PyPI:

https://pypi.org/project/pygom/

pip install pygom

Verifying the Installation#

Run the test suite to confirm that the installation completed successfully:

python -m unittest discover --verbose --start-directory tests

This may take some minutes to complete.
