Installation

Requirements

The random forest used in CAVE depends on a C++11 compatible compiler and on SWIG (3.0).

To install both requirements system-wide on a linux system with apt, please call:

sudo apt-get install build-essential swig python3-dev

And to activate automatic .png-exports for interactive plots, you will currently also need to install phantomjs-prebuilt:

npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt

If you use Anaconda, you have to install both gcc and SWIG from Anaconda to prevent compilation errors:

conda install gxx_linux-64 gcc_linux-64 swig phantomjs

Installation from pypi

To install CAVE from pypi, please use the following command on the command line:

pip install cave

If you want to install it in the user space (e.g., because of missing permissions), please add the option --user or create a virtualenv.
