Installation

NPAT is available through the Python Package index, which allows installation using Python’s standard command line utility pip. Assuming Python and Pip are installed already, you can install NPAT with the command:

pip install --user npat

or:

python -m pip install --user npat

If you’d like to install the most recent (unreleased) version of NPAT, you can clone the NPAT github, and install by either running python -m setup.py install --user or make install.

Troubleshooting

NPAT should download about 1GB of nuclear data during setup, however if this download fails for some reason the databases can be downloaded by downloading the setup file and running it with the command:

python setup.py install --user

If this fails, you can alternatively download npat as a .zip file from dropbox and unzip it into the appropriate site-packages directory. If you’re unsure where that is, the following StackExchange is a useful reference.
