Installation

Install via pip

You can do a direct install via pip` by using:

$ pip install sphinx-gallery

Sphinx-Gallery will not manage its dependencies when installing, thus you are required to install them manually. Our minimal dependency is Sphinx >= 4.

Sphinx-Gallery has also support for scraping images from packages like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Mayavi. For much of this functionality, you will need pillow. We also recommend installing system optipng binaries to reduce the file sizes of the generated PNG files.

Contributing

You can get the latest development source from our Github repository. You need setuptools installed in your system to install Sphinx-Gallery. For example, you can do:

$ git clone https://github.com/sphinx-gallery/sphinx-gallery
$ cd sphinx-gallery
$ pip install -r requirements.txt -r dev-requirements.txt
$ conda install graphviz  # if using conda, you can get graphviz this way
$ pip install -e .

Check that you are all set by running:

$ pytest sphinx_gallery
