1.1. Download and Installation

MiniFit has been tested on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. It is available on PyPI and can be installed using pip.

pip install minifit

Optionally, you can use Python venv when installing if you want to use MiniFit in an isolated environment. SciPy, NumPy, matplotlib, and pathlib will be installed.

cd folder_of_your_choice
python3 -m venv env_minifit
source env_minifit/bin/activate


pip install minifit

You can also clone MiniFit by following these steps:

  1. Create a directory to store MiniFit. For example:

mkdir -p ${HOME}/my_packages
cd ${HOME}/my_packages
git clone https://gitlab.com/mike3.14/minifit.git

  1. Install the package. To install MiniFit in development mode, use the -e flag. Make sure you are in the folder containing setup.py:

cd ${HOME}/my_packages/minifit
pip install -e .

Now, MiniFit should be installed in editable/development mode. Any changes to the source code will take effect without requiring another installation.
