<span id="id1"></span><h1>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>The SymPy CAS can be installed on virtually any computer with Python 2.5 or
above. SymPy does not require any special Python modules: let us know if you
have any problems with SymPy on a standard Python install. The current
recommended method of installation is directly from the source files.
Alternatively, executables are available for Windows, and some Linux
distributions have SymPy packages available.</p>
<div class="section" id="source">
<h2>Source<a class="headerlink" href="#source" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>SymPy currently recommends that users install directly from the source files.
You will first have to download the source files via the archive. Download the
latest release (tar.gz) from the <a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/p/sympy/downloads/list">downloads site</a> and open it with your
operating system&#8217;s standard decompression utility.</p>
<p>When downloading the archive, make sure to get the correct version (Python 2 or
Python 3). If you&#8217;re not sure which one to use, you probably want the Python 2
version. Note that you can install both if you want.</p>
<p>After the download is complete, you should have a folder called &#8220;sympy&#8221;. From
your favorite command line terminal, change directory into that folder and
execute the following:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ python setup.py install</pre>
</div>
<p>Alternatively, if you don&#8217;t want to install the package onto your computer, you
may run SymPy with the &#8220;isympy&#8221; console (which automatically imports SymPy
packages and defines common symbols) by executing within the &#8220;sympy&#8221; folder:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ ./bin/isympy</pre>
</div>
<p>You may now run SymPy statements directly within the Python shell:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">__future__</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">division</span>

<div class="section" id="git">
<h2>Git<a class="headerlink" href="#git" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>If you are a developer or like to get the latest updates as they come, be sure
to install from git. To download the repository, execute the following from the
command line:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ git clone git://github.com/sympy/sympy.git</pre>
</div>
<p>Then, execute either the setup.py or the bin/isympy scripts as demonstrated
above.</p>
<p>To update to the latest version, go into your repository and execute:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ git pull origin master</pre>
</div>
<p>If you want to install SymPy, but still want to use the git version, you can run
from your repository:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ setupegg.py develop</pre>
</div>
<p>This will cause the installed version to always point to the version in the git
directory.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re using the git repository with Python 3, you have to use the
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./bin/use2to3</span></tt> script to build the Python 3 version of SymPy. This will put
everything in the py3k-sympy directory.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="anaconda">
<h2>Anaconda<a class="headerlink" href="#anaconda" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Although SymPy does not have any hard dependencies, many nice features are
only enabled when certain libraries are installed. For example, without
Matplotlib, only simple text-based plotting is enabled. With the IPython
notebook or qtconsole, you can get nicer <span class="math">\(\LaTeX\)</span> printing by running
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">%loadext</span> <span class="pre">sympy.interactive.ipythonprinting</span></tt>. An easy way to get all these
libraries in addition to SymPy is to install <a class="reference external" href="http://continuum.io/downloads.html">Anaconda</a>, which is a free Python distribution
from Continuum Analytics that includes SymPy, Matplotlib, IPython, NumPy, and
many more useful packages for scientific computing.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="other-methods">
<h2>Other Methods<a class="headerlink" href="#other-methods" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>An installation executable is available for Windows users at the
<a class="reference external" href="https://code.google.com/p/sympy/downloads/list">downloads site</a> (.exe). In addition, various Linux distributions have SymPy
available as a package. Others are strongly encouraged to download from source
(details above).</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="run-sympy">
<h2>Run SymPy<a class="headerlink" href="#run-sympy" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>After installation, it is best to verify that your freshly-installed SymPy
works. To do this, start up Python and import the SymPy libraries:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>$ python
&gt;&gt;&gt; from sympy import *</pre>
</div>
<p>From here, execute some simple SymPy statements like the ones below:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">x</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">Symbol</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">&#39;x&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">limit</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">sin</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">1</span>
<span class="gp">&gt;&gt;&gt; </span><span class="n">integrate</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">1</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="n">x</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">x</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="go">log(x)</span>
