Installing DLite#
DLite is written C, but can be compiled with or without bindings to Python and Fortran and with or without support for HDF5 and librdf storages. A set of additional optional storages are available if compiled with Python support. For a complete list, see runtime dependencies.
Installing with pip#
If you are using Python, the easiest way to install DLite is with pip:
pip install DLite-Python[full]
The bracket [full] is optional, but ensures that you install DLite
together with all optional dependencies needed for additional features
and storage plugins. (see also runtime dependencies).
Extra requirements#
The complete list of extra requirements is as follows:
[mappings]: Extra requirements needed for property mappings.
[full]: All extra runtime requirements, needed by the various storage plugins or features like property mappings.
[dev]: Extra requirements needed for development and testing.
[doc]: Extra requirements needed for generating documentation.
