Installation

The GPdoemd package has been tested and validated on OSX and Ubuntu.
No guarantees are provided that GPdoemd works on Windows-based systems.

Requirements

Python 3.4+

• numpy >= 1.7
• scipy >= 0.17
• GPy

Optional

• gp_grief (forked repository): GP-GRIEF surrogate models

Creating a virtual environment

We recommend installing GPdoemd in a virtual environment.
Open the command prompt and navigate to your preferred installation folder.
To set up a new virtual environment called myenv (example name), run the following

python -m venv myenv

After the virtual environment has been created, activate it as follows

myenv\Scripts\activate

It is recommended that you update the pip installation in the virtual environment

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Installing GPdoemd

First install all required packages in the virtual environment.
The required packages are listed above and in the file requirements.txt.

pip install numpy scipy six paramz matplotlib

Try running

pip install GPy

If you are lucky, this works. In our experience, the last command will fail - GPy will need to be built from source. Download the files from the GPy GitHub repository. Enter the downloaded GPy folder and run

python setup.py develop

If the setup is successful, skip to the installation of GPdoemd. If the previous command generates cython-related errors, try to comment out the lines in setup.py related to ext_mods, and add

ext_mods = []

After this, try running python setup.py develop again.

To install GPdoemd, run the following in the virtual environment

pip install git+https://github.com/cog-imperial/GPdoemd

Alternatively, if you do not have git installed, download the files from the GitHub repository and install using python setup.py develop.

Uninstalling GPdoemd

The GPdoemd package can be uninstalled by running

pip uninstall GPdoemd

Alternatively, the folder containing the virtual environment can be deleted.
