Installation

The kinetics modeling package is currently in alpha-testing and is available only via SVN. In order to access the package you will need the following dependencies:

svn (for installing and updating)
python (version 2.5 or greater)
python modules:

• numpy
• scipy
• mpmath
• ase
• gmpy (optional - gives 2-3x speedup for multiple precision calculations)

You can then install the module via svn with the following command in the terminal:

svn co svn://suncatls1.slac.stanford.edu/kinetics/trunk <packagename>

where <packagename> is the name of the local directory where the module will be stored. After installing you can get the most current version of the package by going into the <packagename> directory and typing:

svn update

As the package is currently under development, some issues and bugs are to be expected. If you are interested in working on the module as a developer please contact Andrew Medford (ajmedfor@stanford.edu) to obtain read/write access.

You can cite this package with the following information:
