Installation instructions

Prerequisites

First, create a minimal environment with only Python installed in it. We recommend using Python virtual environments.

python3 -m venv /path/to/virtual/environment

Activate your new environment.

source /path/to/virtual/environment/bin/activate

There are two primary ways to install the packages:

• Option 1: Install from PyPI
• Option 2: Install from source

Option 1: Install from PyPI

The most straightforward way to install the qiskit-addon-pna package is via PyPI.

pip install 'qiskit-addon-pna'

Option 2: Install from source

If you plan to develop in the repository or run the notebooks locally, you should install from source.

First, clone the qiskit-addon-pna repository.

git clone [email protected]:Qiskit/qiskit-addon-pna.git

Next, upgrade pip and enter the repository.

pip install --upgrade pip
cd qiskit-addon-pna

The next step is to install qiskit-addon-pna to the virtual environment. If you plan to run the notebooks and their visualizations, install the notebook dependencies. If you plan on developing in the repository, install the dev dependencies.

Adjust the options below to suit your needs.

pip install tox notebook -e '.[notebook-dependencies,dev]'

If you installed the notebook dependencies, you can get started by running the notebooks in the docs.

cd docs/
jupyter lab
