Installing pyeemd

The pyeemd module comes with a regular Python distutils installation script, so installing it should be quite straightforward. The only catch is that you need to first compile libeemd.so, since pyeemd is only a wrapper for that library. Please see the README file distributed with libeemd on more details on how to compile libeemd, but if you are unpatient and already have the necessary dependencies installed (GCC, GSL), you can just run make in the top-level directory of libeemd and you are done.

To install pyeemd please run:

python2 setup.py install

In the top-level directory of pyeemd (the one with setup.py).

If you want to specify an alternative installation prefix, you can do it as follows:

python2 setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/usr
