Installation
------------

pygypsy is available in the following package repositories

1. PyPI

::

    pip install pygypsy

2. conda-forge

::

    conda config --add channels conda-forge
    conda install pygypsy

Conda is the recommended environment for using gypsy on windows. Installation
from PyPI currently requires compilation of cython extensions and C code; on
Linux and OSX this is rarely problematic.

It is recommended to install in a
`virtualenv <https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/userguide/>`__ or
`conda env <http://conda.pydata.org/docs/using/envs.html>`__ to avoid
clobbering system or other projects' python pacakges.
