Installation

Compilation of the C library

Note

Each release of EPANET-PLUS contains binaries build for all major platforms.

We offer platform-specific scripts for building the C library – note that those require the latest version of gcc (for MacOSX users: you have to install gcc-15 from HomeBrew):

Installation of the Python Package

Note that EPANET-PLUS supports Python 3.10 - 3.14

Note

The Python package contains the the C library as a C extension and is already pre-build for all major platforms.

PyPI

pip install epanet-plus

Git

Download or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/WaterFutures/EPANET-PLUS.git
cd EPANET-PLUS

Install all requirements as listed in REQUIREMENTS.txt:

pip install -r REQUIREMENTS.txt

Build and install the package:

pip install .

Note

This step triggers the build of the C extension, which requires a C compiler to be installed on the system. Furthermore, on MacOSX, you have to run:

..code:: bash

brew install libomp export LIBOMP_PREFIX=”$(brew –prefix libomp)”
