Install PyMC on Ubuntu

PyMC is a nice Python package for implementing MCMC sampling in Bayesian inference. I have used this package on a variety of projects in Ubuntu 10.04lts and will provide my notes on how to install the development version from the github repository. This is important for me because I have found a variety of instances where I needed the latest PyMC version to accomplish particular goals.

第一种：

To start, make sure some dependencies are installed:

1	sudo apt-get install python-dev gcc gfortran

If, like me, you already have many Python packages installed you will have some or most of the above installed. Next, cd to a directory where you would like to keep the PyMC git repository on your machine and clone the repository:

1	git clone git://github.com/pymc-devs/pymc.git

Finally, compile and install

1 2 3

cd pymc/ sudo python setup.py config_fc --fcompiler gfortran build sudo python setup.py install

 

第二种：

sudo apt-get install python-dev gcc gfortran

pip install pymc
