Installation

---

From PyPI

Base installation:

pip install gwplot

gwplot also has pillow as an optional runtime dependency.

Building from Source

MacOS

Install dependencies using homebrew (shown), or conda.

brew install fontconfig freetype glfw htslib jpeg-turbo libpng xz

Clone repository with GW submodule, install using pip.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/kcleal/gwplot
cd gwplot
pip install -e . -v  # Use editable mode for development

# Run tests, need -e option when using pip install
python -m unittest discover -s ./tests

The prefix path (i.e. homebrew or conda environments) is usually auto-detected, but this can be manually set using:

pip install . --config-settings=setup-args=-Dprefix_path=~/miniconda3

Linux

For linux users, building is more convoluted. You will need to install htslib, glfw and freetype. An example build script can be found in ci/manylinux-build-deps
