Installation instructions

Supported operating systems

At the moment, Qibochem is only actively supported on Linux and MacOS systems. In principle, it should be possible to install and run Qibochem on Windows as well (see below).

Note

Qibochem is supported for Python >= 3.9.

Installing with pip

The latest PyPI release of Qibochem can be installed directly with pip:

pip install qibochem

The pip program will download and install all of the required dependencies for Qibochem.

Note

For larger simulations, it may be desirable to install other backend drivers for Qibo as well.

Installing from source

The latest (development) version of Qibochem can be installed directly from the source repository on Github:

git clone https://github.com/qiboteam/qibochem.git
cd qibochem
pip install .

Installing on Windows

The simplest way to get Qibochem on a Windows system is to use Windows Subsystem for Linux, and install Linux on Windows. Qibochem can then be installed directly using pip as described above.
