🔩 Building and installing

To build and install this package with pip, the same procedure can be followed as for most pure Python packages that use setuptools.

Building a wheel

The Python build package will create a wheel and source distribution; without additional options, both files are created in the dist/ subdirectory, which will be created if it does not already exist.

python3 -m build

Installing from local files

Some optional flags are given below in brackets that can be useful for a non-root build (--user) or for active development (--ignore-installed --force-reinstall), but these are not strictly necessary to install the package itself. The following command works from the repository root directory.

pip3 install [--user] [--ignore-installed --force-reinstall] $PWD

Installing from GitHub

Installing from GitHub directly is even easier!

pip3 install [--user] [--ignore-installed --force-reinstall] git+https://github.com/emprice/nordplotlib

💎 Credits and dependencies

• Matplotlib is probably the most popular way to generate scientific plots in Python.
• The Nord colorscheme is a beautiful set of color palettes with a frosty blue feel. Many ports are available if you like these colors and want to see them in your own tools.
