Installation Guide

Sciunit

sciunit is a command-line tool that answers the call for a reusable research object that containerizes and stores applications simply and efficiently, facilitates sharing and collaboration, and eases the task of executing, understanding, and building on shared work.

Installing

[ Note This section introduces the binary distributions of sciunit. --end note ]

Requires: pip>=20.x, glibc>=2.17, python3.x with headers and compiler

Platform: amd64-pc-linux-gnu

Ensure that ~/.local/bin is in your PATH environment variable, and then, run

pip3 install --user sciunit2

Add --upgrade to the command line arguments to upgrade an existing sciunit installation.

Verify the installation with

sciunit --version

In the following per-distro instructions, if you see a command-line in the form of

export PATH=~/.local/bin:$PATH

it merely means that you will need the aforementioned binary path in PATH before proceeding; normally you should adjust it according to your login shell and write it to a shell configuration such as ~/.profile.
