Installation¶

Currently, tobler supports Python >= 3.12. Please make sure that you are operating in a Python 3 environment.

Installing a released version¶

tobler is available on both conda and pip, and can be installed with any of

conda install -c conda-forge tobler

or

pixi add tobler

or

pip install tobler

Installing a development from source¶

For working with a development version, we recommend miniforge or pixi. To get started, clone this repository or download it manually then cd into the directory and run the following commands:

using conda

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate tobler
pip install -e .

using pixi

note: as of this writing, pixi does not support relative paths (like “.”), hence the expansion using the environment variable $PWD

pixi init --import environment.yml
pixi add --pypi --editable  "tobler @ file://$PWD"

You can also fork the pysal/tobler repo and create a local clone of your fork. By making changes to your local clone and submitting a pull request to pysal/tobler, you can contribute to the tobler development.
