Installation

Note! The Bmad Distribution (which includes Tao) must be installed before installing PyTao. Additionally, the Bmad Distribution must be compiled with the ACC_ENABLE_SHARED="Y" or ACC_ENABLE_SHARED_ONLY="Y" flag. This can be set in the bmad_dist/util/dist_prefs file (the default setting is fine).

For instructions on how to install the Bmad Distribution, please refer to the instructions available at the Bmad website.

Since PyTao is a python package, it can be installed in a couple of different ways:

Using setuptools

python setup.py install

Using pip

# From PyPI distribution
pip install pytao

# or from the source folder
pip install .

Using conda

conda install -c conda-forge pytao
