Installation

plotnine can be can be installed in a couple of ways, depending on purpose.

Official release installation

For a normal user, it is recommended to install the official release. You can choose one these two commands:

# Using pip
$ pip install plotnine         # 1. should be sufficient for most
$ pip install 'plotnine[all]'  # 2. includes extra/optional packages

# Or using conda
$ conda install -c conda-forge plotnine

The second pip command also installs packages that are required for some specific functionality that may not be frequently used. Those packages are:

Development installation

To do any development you have to clone the plotnine source repository and install the package in development mode. These commands do all of that:

$ git clone https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine.git
$ cd plotnine
$ pip install -e .

If you only want to use the latest development sources and do not care about having a cloned repository, e.g. if a bug you care about has been fixed but an official release has not come out yet, then use this command:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/has2k1/plotnine.git
