Installation¶
Although xtensor
is a header-only library, we provide standardized means to install it, with package managers or with cmake.
Besides the xtendor headers, all these methods place the cmake project configuration file in the right location so that third-party projects can use cmake’s find_package to locate xtensor headers.
Using the conda package¶
A package for xtensor is available on the conda package manager.
conda install -c conda-forge xtensor
Using the Debian package¶
A package for xtensor is available on Debian.
sudo apt-get install xtensor-dev
From source with cmake¶
You can also install xtensor
from source with cmake. On Unix platforms, from the source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
make install
On Windows platforms, from the source directory:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix ..
nmake
nmake install
See the section of the documentation on Build and configuration, for more details on how to cmake options.
