PyM Installing Guide
N. Sayols & S. Xambó

To use the PyM system, it is required to have Python 3.3 or higher. To use the interactive notebooks, which provide an excellent working environment, it is required to have installed, in addition to Python, the Jupyter notebook.

Installing the Jupyter Notebook and Python

For new Python users, we highly recommend installing the last Python 3 using the Anaconda distribution, because it also intalls Jupyter:

  1. Download the latest Anaconda's Python 3 distribution (currently it is 3.6).
  2. Follow the instructions in the download page to install the Anaconda version.

Alternative: Install Jupyter with pip

If you prefer a different Python distribution, you can install Jupyter using Python's package manager pip:

  1. Ensure that you have the latest version of pip, as older versions may encounter dependency problems: 
           pip3 install --upgrade pip
  2. Install the Jupyter notebook: 
           pip3 install jupyter

Installing the PyM system

Download the file PyM.rar or PyM.zip (current version 2006) and decompress it into a folder in your computer. After that, open a terminal window (cmd.exe in windows) and go to the folder PyM-system and execute the following command 
      python setup.py install
or 
      py setup.py install
If the installation fails or both python commands are not recognised by the system, copy the PyM-system/PyM folder of the decompressed file into the site-packages of your Python distribution. For example, in Anaconda for Windows it is located in 
     c:\users\xxx\anaconda3\Lib\site-packages
where xxx is the Windows' user name.


PyM Execution

To use the PyM system, you only have to include the following line at the start of your code: 

     from PyM import *
