Installation

From binary packages

Pip

Install the package from PyPI:

pip3 install openturns

For an installation without administrative priviledges the option --user can be used. Note that pip does not install pre-releases unless given the option --pre.

Conda

This is relevant to the Conda userland Python package manager.

As binary dependency packages from the conda-forge channel are not compatible with ones from the default channel, openturns packages are not working on top of Anaconda. Instead, we recommend installing conda from Miniforge where conda is configured to prioritize packages from conda-forge out of the box. This can also be achieved with Miniconda with extra steps. On Windows just download the matching miniforge exe and follow the instructions, on Linux you can install it from command-line in one go:

wget https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh -P /tmp
bash /tmp/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p $HOME/miniforge
PATH="$HOME/miniforge/bin:$PATH"

Then it should be ready to install packages:

conda install -y openturns

Note that conda can be slow or fail at resolving complex environments with many packages so when a full upgrade is needed our advice is to create a new environment from scratch (see also Mamba).

Alternatively, you can download the otconda bundle containing the library and its modules that allows for an offline installation. Note that pre-releases are published on conda-forge like regular releases, so if you want to stick to the stable version you will have to explicitely specify the required version, eg conda install openturns=1.16.

Windows

Download the installer matching your python version and architecture from GitHub Then just run installer and follow the instructions.

A non-interactive installation is also possible with the command line:

openturns-1.18-py38-x86_64.exe /userlevel=1 /S /FORCE /D=%PREFIX%

Debian/Ubuntu

We support the following Debian-based distributions:

Distribution name

Repository address

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ‘Bionic Beaver’

deb https://openturns.github.io/apt/ubuntu bionic main

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS ‘Focal Fossa’

deb https://openturns.github.io/apt/ubuntu focal main

Ubuntu 21.10 ‘Impish Indri’

Debian 10.0 ‘Buster’

deb https://openturns.github.io/apt/debian buster main

Debian 11.0 ‘Bullseye’

deb https://openturns.github.io/apt/debian bullseye main

Add the mirror signature:

curl -s https://openturns.github.io/apt/public.key | sudo apt-key add -

To be able to retrieve packages, you must add the appropriate repository address to your sources list. To do so, you may either use the graphical user interface of aptitude or you can edit the sources-list file (/etc/apt/sources.list).

For instance, assuming you are running Ubuntu 20.04, add the following source to your sources list:

echo deb https://openturns.github.io/apt/ubuntu focal main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openturns.list

Note

Use the bash command lsb_release -c in order to determine the codename of your distribution.

You may want to enable apt https support to be able to fetch from github.io:

sudo apt install apt-transport-https

After editing aptitude’s sources-list, you must update your packages database using either the graphical interface or by issuing the following command:

sudo apt update
