Installation
============

Pycsou-gsp requires Python 3.6 or greater.It is developed and tested on x86_64 systems running MacOS and Linux.


Dependencies
------------
Before installing Pycsou-gsp, make sure that the base package Pycsou is correctly installed on your machine. Installation instructions for Pycsou are available at `that link <https://matthieumeo.github.io/pycsou/html/general/install.html>`_. 

The package extra dependencies are listed in the files ``requirements.txt`` and ``requirements-conda.txt``. 
It is recommended to install those extra dependencies using `Miniconda <https://conda.io/miniconda.html>`_ or
`Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux>`_. This
is not just a pure stylistic choice but comes with some *hidden* advantages, such as the linking to
``Intel MKL`` library (a highly optimized BLAS library created by Intel).

.. code-block:: bash
   
   >> conda install --channel=conda-forge --file=requirements-conda.txt
