Installation
============
PyQtGraph does not really require any installation scripts. All that is needed is for the pyqtgraph folder to be placed someplace importable. Most people will prefer to simply place this folder within a larger project folder. If you want to make pyqtgraph available system-wide, use one of the methods listed below:
There are many different ways to install pyqtgraph, depending on your needs:
* **Using pip3(or pip):** Just run "`pip3 install pyqtgraph`" on your command line.
* **Debian, Ubuntu, and similar Linux:** Download the .deb file linked at the top of the pyqtgraph web page or install using apt by putting "deb http://luke.campagnola.me/debian dev/" in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and install the python-pyqtgraph package.
* **Arch Linux:** Looks like someone has posted unofficial packages for Arch (thanks windel). (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62577)
* **Windows:** Download and run the .exe installer file linked at the top of the pyqtgraph web page.
* **From Source(including OSX):** Download the .tar.gz source package linked at the top of the pyqtgraph_ web page, extract its contents, and run "`python setup.py install`" from within the extracted directory.
* The most common way to install pyqtgraph is with pip::
$ pip install pyqtgraph
Some users may need to call ``pip3`` instead. This method should work on
all platforms.
* To get access to the very latest features and bugfixes, clone pyqtgraph from
github::
$ git clone https://github.com/pyqtgraph/pyqtgraph
Now you can install pyqtgraph from the source::
$ python setup.py install
..or you can simply place the pyqtgraph folder someplace importable, such as
inside the root of another project. PyQtGraph does not need to be "built" or
compiled in any way.
* Packages for pyqtgraph are also available in a few other forms:
* **Anaconda**: ``conda install pyqtgraph``
* **Debian, Ubuntu, and similar Linux:** Use ``apt install python-pyqtgraph`` or
download the .deb file linked at the top of the pyqtgraph web page.
* **Arch Linux:** has packages (thanks windel). (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=62577)
* **Windows:** Download and run the .exe installer file linked at the top of the pyqtgraph web page.
Requirements
============
PyQtGraph depends on:
* Python 2.7 or Python 3.x
* A Qt library such as PyQt4, PyQt5, or PySide
* numpy
The easiest way to meet these dependencies is with ``pip`` or with a scientific python
distribution like Anaconda.
