pip¶

A package manager for python

sudo easy_install pip

Numpy¶

You can either:

• install as an Ubuntu package
  

  sudo apt-get install python-scipy
  

• or install from source, which requires development headers for python
  

  sudo apt-get install python-dev
  sudo pip install scipy
  

Testing (in python)¶

import numpy
print numpy.__version__
print numpy.__file__
quit()

You should get numpy version 1.6.2 and a file starting with a path /usr/local/lib/python2.7/...

Scipy¶

Scipy is available as a package for Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python-scipy

This is easier than installing from source using pip as that needs BLAS as a prerequisite.

install BLAS somehow...
sudo apt-get install gfortran
pip install scipy

Testing (in python)¶

import scipy
print scipy.__version__
print scipy.__file__
quit()

You should get scipy version 0.9.0 and a file starting with a path /usr/lib/python2.7/...

Matplotlib¶

Scipy is available as a package for Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib

Testing (in Python)¶

import matplotlib
print matplotlib.__version__
print matplotlib.__file__
quit()

You should get matplotlib version 1.1.1rc and a file starting with a path /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/...

Audiolab¶

pip install scikits.audiolab 

• FAILING AT THIS POINT AS pip CAN'T FIND SNDFILE

Testing (in Python)¶

import scikits.audiolab
print scikits.audiolab.__version__
print scikits.audiolab.__file__
quit()

You should get scikits.audiolab version 0.11.0 and a file starting with a path /usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.3/...
