Installation
Follow these steps for installing the Qiskit Aer package:
qiskit-aer$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
qiskit-aer$ python ./setup.py bdist_wheel
Once the build finishes, we just need to install the wheel package in our preferred python virtual environment:
qiskit-aer$ pip install dist/qiskit_aer-0.1.0-cp36-cp36m-linux_x86_64.whl
We are all set! Now we ready to start using the simulator in our python code:
import qiskit_aer as aer
from qiskit_aer import Aer # Imports the Aer Provider
Aer.backends() # List Aer backends
