Note

This documentation is for a development version of IPython-extensions. There may be significant differences from the latest stable release.

IPython-extensions requires Python 2.7 or 3.3+.

Installation¶

Quickstart¶

If you have pip, the quickest way to get up and running with IPython-extensions is:

$ pip install ipyext

If you use conda, you can also install with

$ conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/janschulz ipyext

Installing the development version¶

It is also possible to install the development version of IPython-extensions from our Git source code repository. To do this you will need to have Git installed on your system. Then do:

$ git clone https://github.com/ipython-contrib/IPython-extensions.git
$ cd IPython-extensions
$ python setup.py install

Some users want to be able to follow the development branch as it changes. If you have pip, you can replace the last step by:

$ pip install -e .

This creates links in the right places and installs the command line script to the appropriate places.

Then, if you want to update your IPython at any time, do:

$ git pull

Dependencies¶

IPython-extensions relies on a number of other Python packages. Installing using a package manager like pip or conda will ensure the necessary packages are installed. If you install manually, it’s up to you to make sure dependencies are installed. They’re not listed here, because they may change from release to release, so a static list will inevitably get out of date.
