Installation

See below for more detailed instructions for Linux, Windows and OS X. In brief: install floweaver using pip:

$ pip install floweaver

If you use Jupyter notebooks – a good way to get started – you will also want to install ipysankeywidget, an IPython widget to interactively display Sankey diagrams:

$ pip install ipysankeywidget
$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix ipysankeywidget

Note

If this is the first time you have installed IPython widgets, you also need to make sure they are enabled:

$ jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension

If you use multiple virtualenvs or conda environments, make sure ipywidgets and ipysankeywidget are installed and enabled in both the environment running the notebook server and the kernel.
