Installing astronify

Using pip

The easiest way to install Astronify is using pip:

Errors installing dependent packages

You may experience difficulties installing Astronify without some libraries pre-installed. If you run into problems, we recommend installing the following dependencies of pyo prior to running the pip install astronify step.

Mac

We recommend installing homebrew (https://brew.sh) and then running:

brew install portaudio portmidi libsndfile liblo

Still having issues?

If you are still unable to install astronify (or pyo) via pip, it’s possible pip is looking for them in the wrong spot, depending on how you’ve installed other packages in your envionrment. If so, try adding the following flags to your shell of choice, open a new terminal, and then run pip install astronify again:

# Example for .cshrc
setenv CFLAGS '-I/opt/homebrew/include/'
setenv LDFLAGS '-L/opt/homebrew/lib/'

# Example for .bashrc
export CFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include/"
export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/lib/"

Linux

We recommend installing the following with apt-get:

apt-get install portaudio19-dev libsndfile1-dev libportmidi-dev liblo-dev
