Installation

Since flavio is a Python package that does not need compilation, installation is fairly simple. The following will assume that you already have Python version 3.6 or above and the Python package manager pip installed on your system.

Note: If you plan to modify the code and potentially contribute your changes back to the community, you might follow the steps described in development install instead.

Install flavio

The latest released version is available via PyPI, so you can install it simply by executing

python3 -m pip install flavio

You might want to add the --user switch to install it in your home directory rather than system-wide.

Install optional dependencies

While you are now all set to compute predictions in the SM and beyond, if you want to use all the features of the package, you might want to install some additional Python packages. The command

pip3 install flavio[plotting]

will install matplotlib, that is required for plotting.

Upgrading flavio

If you have installed flavio using pip, it is trivial to upgrade it to a new version. Simply execute

python3 -m pip install flavio --upgrade

(again optionally adding --user).
