Installation

From PyPI

GaiaXPy was designed to work with Python 3.7 or later, and is available through PyPI. Previous versions of the package are compatible with Python 3.6.

You can check this by running:

You should see a Python version at the end of the output of these commands. E.g.: python 3.8.

To install GaiaXPy from PyPI, simply run:

pip install GaiaXPy # or pip3 if it corresponds
