## Installation ### Linux and MacOS We have made the package available in [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/). Download and install Anaconda or Miniconda from [https://www.anaconda.com/download/](https://www.anaconda.com/download/) and then install piqs from the conda-forge repository with ` conda config --add channels conda-forge conda install conda-forge piqs ` Then you can fire up a Jupyter notebook and run piqs out of your browser.

### Windows Windows is not officially supported, but if you are on Windows, you can build piqs from source by first installing conda. If you have a python environment with cython, numpy, scipy and qutip installed then simply download the [source code](https://github.com/nathanshammah/piqs/archive/v1.2.tar.gz), unzip it and run the setup file inside with

` python setup.py install ` If you have any problems installing the tool, please open an issue or write to us.

### Source Alternatively, you can download the package from the [source](https://github.com/nathanshammah/piqs/archive/v1.2.tar.gz) and install with

` python setup.py install `

### QuTiP A version of PIQS is already included in the excellent QuTiP library, from version 4.3. If you have QuTiP (>4.2), you can just import the module as qutip.piqs.
