Installation

libchain requires Python 3.6 or above. If you do not already have a Python environment configured on your computer, please see getting python.

Below we assume you have the default Python environment already configured on your computer and you intend to install libchain inside of it.

First, make sure you have the latest version of pip (the Python package manager) installed. If you do not, refer to the pip documentation and install pip first.

If you do not have permission to install software systemwide, you can install into your user directory using the --user flag:

Before installing the development version, you may need to uninstall the standard version of libchain (if installed) using pip:
