Installation instructions¶
qdiv can be installed with pip or conda.
pip install qdiv
or
conda install -c omvatten qdiv
The recommended method is to download Anaconda or Miniconda
Open the Anaconda or Miniconda prompt (a terminal window).
Create a new environment. You can, for example, call it qdiv_env. Then, activate the environment.
conda create -n qdiv_env python=3.9
conda activate qdiv_env
Install qdiv using:
conda install -c omvatten qdiv
To start using qdiv, you need some way of writing and executing Python code. I use Spyder or Jupyter notebooks. You can install Spyder like this:
conda install spyder
To run Spyder, simply type:
spyder
You can install Jupyter like this:
conda install jupyter
To start a Jupyter notebook, simply type:
jupyter notebook
To check if qdiv works, you can run the following code:
import qdiv
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'a':[5,5,2,1]})
print(qdiv.diversity.naive_alpha(df))
Hopefully, this will run without error messages and print a value of 3.388
