2. Installation

You can install PyQwt on the POSIX (Unix, Linux), MacOS/X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems:

  1. see 2.1 for the software packages needed to build and install PyQwt.
  2. see 2.2 for build and installation instructions using configure.py. Recommended unless you want to make an installer (.rpm on some Linux systems and .exe on Microsoft Windows).
  3. see 2.3 for build and installation instructions using setup.py. Only recommended if you want to make an installer (.rpm on some Linux systems and .exe on Microsoft Windows).
  4. see 2.4 for instructions on the use of the binary Windows installer, to be used with the non-commercial packages QtWin230-NonCommercial.exe and PyQt-win-nc-msvc-3.12.exe.

Note: The compatibility of PyQwt's build scripts with the commercial packages of Qt and PyQt on Windows depends on your feedback, because I do not have access to those versions of Qt and PyQt.
