Installation

nested-dask is available to install with pip, using the “nested-dask” package name:

% pip install nested-dask

This will grab the latest release version of nested-dask from pip.

Installation from Source

In some cases, installation via pip may not be sufficient. In particular, if you’re looking to grab the latest development version of nested-dask, you should instead build ‘nested-dask’ from source. The following process downloads the ‘nested-dask’ source code and installs it and any needed dependencies in a fresh conda environment.

conda create -n nested_dask_env python=3.11
conda activate nested_dask_env

git clone https://github.com/lincc-frameworks/nested-dask.git
cd nested-dask
pip install .
pip install '.[dev]'

The pip install .[dev] command is optional, and installs dependencies needed to run the unit tests and build the documentation. The latest source version of nested-dask may be less stable than a release, and so we recommend running the unit test suite to verify that your local install is performing as expected.
