There is more than one way to install assist, here we present two options.
The easiest way to install ASSIsT is to use pip. If you wish to perform a global installation and you have admin rights then do
sudo pip install assist
or to install in some directory under your user account
pip install --user assist
From the command line do the following (where x.y is the version number):
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/a/assist/assist-x.y.tar.gz
tar xvzf assist-x.y.tar.gz
cd assist-x.y/
sudo python3 setup.py install
The last command can be replaced by python3 setup.py install --user. See PyPI for all available versions.
To be able to call assist from the command line you must have the executable directory in your $PATH. This can be taken care of my calling the install command in assist. Since the executable is not yet available you will have to call python first.
python3 -m assist install
This will print several messages describing some paths. To verify that assist is now in your path you can try the help option
assist -h
The install command also takes care of the C and C++ include paths. This will make sure that you can include the header files containing the models, methods and collectors from this project.
