SciLuigi is most easily installed, including its dependencies (luigi etc), from the Python Package index, using the pip command, that comes with most python distributions.

To install sciluigi via pip, execute the following command in a terminal:

pip install sciluigi

An alternative way to install SciLuigi, is directly from the source code. This allows to make own changes to the library before installing, or to install a newer version than the one published to the Python Package Index.

Note that this way of installing requires that you have installed the dependencies (luigi) yourself, since they are not installed automatically using this method.

To install SciLUigi from source, execute the following commands in a terminal:

mkdir -p ~/src/sciluigi
cd ~/src/sciluigi
git clone https://github.com/pharmbio/sciluigi.git .
python setup.py install

If you don't receive any error messages during the installation, the installation should now be finished.
