Installation Guide¶

There are two ways to install MultiPlanet: 1) in conjunction with VPLanet and its other support scripts, or 2) from source.

To install MultiPlanet and the other VPLanet packages, use the command:

python -m pip install vplanet

To install from source, first close the repo:

git clone https://github.com/VirtualPlanetaryLaboratory/multi-planet.git

and then go into the directory (MultiPlanet) and run the setup script:

cd multi-planet/
python setup.py install

The setup script installs the various dependencies, creates the MultiPlanet and mpstatus executables, and adds them to your PATH.
