Installing pipestat

Minimal install for file backend

Install pipestat from PyPI with pip:

pip install pipestat

Confirm installation by calling pipestat -h on the command line. If the pipestat executable is not in your $PATH, append this to your .bashrc or .profile (or .bash_profile on macOS):

export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

Optional dependencies for database backend

Pipestat can use either a file or a database as the backend for recording results. The default installation only provides file backend. To install dependencies required for the database backend:

pip install pipestat['dbbackend']

Optional dependencies for pipestat reader

To install dependencies for the included pipestatreader submodule:

pip install pipestat['pipestatreader']
