Magnopy can be installed with pip or from source.

Do you have Python?#

Most likely Python is already installed on your machine (if not check these links: Python installation). One of the ways to check if you have python installed is to run the command in your terminal

python

If you see something like

Python 3.10.9 (main, Dec 15 2022, 18:25:35) [Clang 14.0.0 (clang-1400.0.29.202)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

then you have it.

In most cases python command launches python3, however if it launches python2, then you may need to use python3 instead (and pip3 instead of pip).

Hint

Use exit() or press ctrl+D to close python console.

Hint

On linux and OSX systems one can create a virtual environment for the magnopy's installation with (use your version of python instead of python3.13 if needed)

python3.13 -m venv .venv

And activate it with

source .venv/bin/activate

Magnopy is published and distributed from the Python package index. To install it use the command (you may need to use pip3)
