Installing GOFit

Requirements

GOFit provides pre-built Python wheels for most common platforms with all dependencies included. However if a wheel does not exist for your platform (or if building from source), GOFit requires the following software to be installed:

Installing GOFit

For easy installation, use pip:

$ pip install gofit

Note that if an older install of GOFit is present on your system you can use:

$ pip install --upgrade gofit

to upgrade GOFit to the latest version.

Installing GOFit from source

Alternatively, you can download the source code from Github and unpack as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/ralna/gofit
$ cd gofit

GOFit can then be compiled and installed using:

$ pip install .

Please Note: don’t forget to install the required dependencies (see above).

To upgrade GOFit to the latest version, navigate to the top-level directory (i.e. the one containing setup.py) and re-run the installation using pip, as above:

$ git pull
$ pip install .

Testing

The documentation provides some simple examples of how to run GOFit.

Uninstallation

You can uninstall GOFit as follows:

$ pip uninstall gofit
