Installing oBB

Requirements

oBB requires the following software to be installed:

Additionally, the following python packages should be installed (these will be installed automatically if using pip, see Installation using pip):

Optionally, matplotlib 1.1.0 or higher may be manually installed for visualising the algorithm in 2D.

Installation using pip

For easy installation, use pip:

$ [sudo] pip install obb

or alternatively easy_install:

$ [sudo] easy_install obb

If you do not have root privileges or you want to install oBB for your private use, you can use:

$ pip install --user obb

which will install oBB in your home directory.

Manual installation

Alternatively, you can download the source code and unpack as follows:

$ wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/o/oBB/oBB-X.X.tar.gz
$ tar -xzvf oBB-X.X.tar.gz
$ cd oBB-X.X

and then build and install manually using:

$ python setup.py build
$ [sudo] python setup.py install

If you do not have root privileges or you want to install oBB for your private use, you can use:

$ python setup.py install --user

instead.

Uninstallation

If oBB was installed using pip you can uninstall as follows:

$ [sudo] pip uninstall obb

If oBB was installed manually you have to remove the installed files by hand (located in your python site-packages directory).
