# python-install
Keep track of installation steps for common python packages under ubuntu, with a focus on geophysics.
Details are provided to solve problems arising from the use of pip (using virtualenv). Instruction for a given
package assume the previous packages have been installed. If you are only interested in one package, you may
look for a specific binary library in previous lines. Note that most packages are their setup.py file are under
continuous development, so this document will most likely be useful for a short period of time only, under
the system under consideration (Ubuntu)...
