Installation on Linux via PyPI

First, install ObsPy's dependencies as described here.

Then, make sure the version of distribute is recent enough (the current developer version needs at least version 0.6.21):

easy_install -U distribute

To install ObsPy packages run the following command:

easy_install -N obspy

Notes

• ObsPy may be updated to a newer version using the -U option:

easy_install -N -U obspy

• ObsPy may be updated to the current developer snapshot by using the -U option and ==dev

easy_install -N -U obspy==dev

• -N: Option will prevent easy_install to resolve the dependencies on its own (can be useful if dependencies are already installed and installing them via PyPI fails).
