Installation​

The recommended way to install the Gel driver is to use pip:

Copy
$ 
pip install gel




It is recommended to use pip version 8.1 or later to take
                advantage of the precompiled wheel packages.  Older versions of pip
                will ignore the wheel packages and install from the source
                package.  In that case a working C compiler is required.






Building from source​


If you want to build the Gel driver from a Git checkout you will need:


    

  • 

    A working C compiler.
    

    • 

  • 

    CPython header files.  These can usually be obtained by installing
                        the relevant Python development package: python3-dev on Debian/Ubuntu,
                        python3-devel on RHEL/Fedora.
    

    • 



Once the above requirements are satisfied, run the following command
                in the root of the source checkout:


Copy
$ 
pip install -e .






Running tests​


The testsuite requires a working local installation of the Gel server.
                To execute the testsuite run:


Copy
$ 
python setup.py test
