Installing PyNE on Ubuuntu

This is the list of steps required to get PyNE up and running on a fresh Ubuntu 13.10 VM. I'll assume that you're in a terminal and that you will sudo or su when needed.

$ apt-get install git python-numpy python-scipy python-tables python-nose cython cmake libhdf5-dev python-pip

And if you want to use the ACE viewer, you need matplotlib:

$ apt-get install python-matplotlib

If you need the pyne.mesh package or packages that depend on it (like the pyne.mcnp package), you need to install PyTAPS.

Now you can start building PyNE:

$ git clone git://github.com/pyne/pyne.git
$ cd pyne
$ python setup.py install --user
$ scripts/nuc_data_make
