Installation

To use LattiCS, you’ll need a Python interpreter. If you don’t have one installed on your system, follow the instructions provided here.

We recommend using LattiCS in a separate virtual environment to avoid potential issues caused by conflicting package versions.

For Linux users

First, create a new virtual environment. If you haven’t created one before, start by making an empty directory.

$ mkdir ~/.venvs
$ python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/latticsenv

Activate the environment.

$ source ~/.venvs/latticsenv/bin/activate

For Windows users

First, create a new virtual environment using the Command Prompt. The environment folder will be created in your current working directory.

$ python -m venv latticsenv

Activate the environment.

$ latticsenv\Scripts\activate.bat

Next, install the LattiCS package from the Git repository.

$ pip install git+https://github.com/kissdaniel/lattics.git

Start a Python shell and verify that the package can be successfully imported.

$ python
>>> import lattics

If no error messages appear, the installation was successful.
