1.3.1 Installation within Linux Distributions

PyXPlot is available as a user-installable package within some Linux distributions. Gentoo1, Ubuntu2 and Debian already have such packages. Alternatively, and to ensure that they are using the latest version, Debian and Ubuntu users can download the package from the PyXPlot website and install it manually by typing:

dpkg -i pyxplot_0.7.1.deb

Footnotes

  1. See http://gentoo-portage.com/sci-visualization/pyxplot
  2. Note that at the time of writing, there is an error in the packaging of PyXPlot in Ubuntu which means that the tetex-extra package, upon which PyXPlot depends, is not automatically installed with PyXPlot.
