The simplest method for installing asimov-gwdata is to use the latest released version from pypi, the python package index. We always recommend installing in a virtual environment.

If you want to run unreleased code you can do this by installing directly from the asimov git repository.

The quickest way to do this is to run

You should use the package with care if installing from source; while the master branch should represent stable code, it may contain new or undocumented features, or behave unexpectedly.
