Installation

Install Dependencies

To install the golfball model, you’ll need a python installation with the PyPA/PyPI pip tool installed, as well as the make command line tool. If you don’t want pip to install golfball’s dependencies, use your Python package manager of choice (e.g. conda) to automatically install the following dependencies:

• ruamel.yaml

• pytables

• numpy

• scipy

• pandas

To install the golfball model for use in your python system, make sure you have the proper virtualenv or conda env active (if you don’t know what those are, don’t sweat it), and do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/esba1ley/golfball

or if you have ssh keys set up with GitHub:

$ git clone git@github.com:esba1ley/golfball.git

Then:

$ cd golfball
$ make install

Pip will automatically install any dependencies from the list above if you don’t have them in your environment already.
