Installation
############
Compiling
*********
The library uses c++11 and requires `Boost `_ with
version 1.48.0 or more recent. It is a multi-platform library and compiles on
Linux, Mac OSX and Visual Studio 2015.
It also requires cmake to generate makefiles, and cython to compile the
library.
On `Windows `_ , only Python
3.5 and 3.6 are available because of the required Visual Studio version.
On other systems, if you have several Python/cython installed, the version 2.X
will be used by default, but you can force it by adding
:code:`-DPython_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS=3` to the cmake command.
GUDHI Cythonization
===================
To build the GUDHI cython module, run the following commands in a terminal:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /path-to-gudhi/
mkdir build
cd build/
cmake ..
make cython
Test suites
===========
To test your build, `py.test `_ is optional. Run the
following command in a terminal:
.. code-block:: bash
cd /path-to-gudhi/build/cython
# For windows, you have to set PYTHONPATH environment variable
export PYTHONPATH='$PYTHONPATH:/path-to-gudhi/build/cython'
ctest -R py_test
Documentation
=============
To build the documentation, `sphinx-doc `_ is
required. Please refer to *conf.py* file to see which
`sphinx-doc `_ modules are required to
generate the documentation. Run the following commands in a terminal:
.. code-block:: bash
make sphinx
Optional third-party library
