Installation

While mave itself is not complicated to install, many of the packages it uses can be. If you don't have these dependencies installed before installing mave, pip will attempt to install them for you. This can be problematic as some need to be compiled... and that process does not work smoothly on every machine.

The easiest way to install mave (tested on a newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 OS) is to make sure you have all of the dependencies and build tools installed first:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-pip \
  python-numpy python-scipy python-dateutil libatlas-dev g++
sudo pip install scikit-learn

Then install mave without installing the dependencies:

sudo pip install mave --no-deps
