Other package managers¶
Gammapy has been packaged for some Linux package managers. E.g. on Debian, you can install Gammapy via:
sudo apt-get install python3-gammapy
To get a more fully featured scientific Python environment, you can install
other Python packages using the system package manager (apt-get
in this
example), and then on top of this install more Python packages using pip
.
Example:
sudo apt-get install \
python3-pip python3-matplotlib \
ipython3-notebook python3-gammapy
python3 -m pip install antigravity
Note that also on Linux, the recommended way to install Gammapy is via
conda
. The conda
install is maintained by the Gammapy team and gives you
usually a very recent version (releases every 2 months), whereas the Linux
package managers typically have release cycles of 6 months, or yearly or longer,
meaning that you’ll get an older version of Gammapy. But you can always get a
recent version via pip:
sudo apt-get install python3-gammapy
pip install -U gammapy
