Note: This package is now Pip-installable; no more Anaconda!

Installing the PyIBIS-AMI Package

Note to PyBERT users: If you have PyBERT installed then you already have PyIBIS-AMI installed. However, it is installed, via Conda. You may also want it installed in your Pip environment. If so then continue on.

Installing into a Python virtual environment

Note: This is the recommended approach.

Using this approach, you will protect your existing system Python installation from any side effects of installing this package.

From your command prompt of choice:

1. python3 -m venv ~/.venv/pyibisami

2. . ~/.venv/pyibisami/bin/activate (on Windows: . ~/.venv/pyibisami/Scripts/activate)

   • At this point, you should start seeing "(pyibisami)" appear at the beginning of your command prompt, indicating that your new pyibisami Python virtual environment has been activated.

3. pip install pyibis-ami

Installing into your system Python environment

Note: This is not recommended! It is much safer to use a virtual environment to isolate this package from your system Python installation.

From your command prompt of choice:

pip install pyibis-ami

Testing the PyIBIS-AMI Package Installation

From your command prompt of choice:

python -c "import pyibisami

If there are no errors reported, then the installation has succeeded.

Adventuring Further

Using the Interactive use, from the PyLab command prompt section of the Introduction page as a guide, try loading and exercising your own AMI DLL.
