Installation

YETI is distributed via the pypi package repository. As it is based on Fortran code compiled with f2py and using the Fortran module feature, it has so far only been built for Linux platforms. Contributors with the knowledge to build YETI on MacOS or Windows platforms are welcome.

Linux

You can simply install Yeti by invoking pip from the command line. YETI package is available for x86_64 platforms.

pip install yeti-iga
