Installing Qiskit Terra from source
-----------------------------------
This section include some tips that will help you install and push source code.
.. note::
We recommend using `Python virtual environments <https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html>`__
to cleanly separate Qiskit from other applications and improve your experience.
Setup with an environment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The simplest way to use environments is by using Anaconda
.. code:: sh
conda create -y -n QiskitDevenv python=3
source activate QiskitDevenv
For the python code, we need some libraries that can be installed in this way:
.. code:: sh
cd qiskit-terra
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
To get the examples working try
.. code:: sh
$ pip install -e .
and then you can run them with
.. code:: sh
$ python examples/python/using_qiskit_terra_level_0.py
We recommend that after setting up Terra you set up Aer to get more advanced simulators.
Please see the `Installing Qiskit Terra from Source <https://qiskit.org/documentation/install/terra.html>`_
section of the Qiskit documentation.
