Currently, we suggest that you install FireWorks in developer mode using the instructions below rather than using pip or easy-install.
To prepare for installation, you should:
Run the following code to download the FireWorks source:
git clone git@github.com:materialsproject/fireworks.git
Navigate inside the FireWorks directory containing the file setup.py and run the following command (you might need administrator privileges, so pre-pend the word ‘sudo’ as needed):
python setup.py develop
Install the needed dependencies using pip with the following commands (with administrator privileges):
pip install nose
pip install pyyaml
pip install simplejson
Staying in the directory containing setup.py, run the following command:
nosetests
Ideally, a printout should indicate that all tests have passed. If not, you might try to debug based on the error indicated, or you can let us know the problem so we can improve the docs (see Contributing).
