Upgrading Pyrocko from v0.3 to v2017.11 or later¶

This document describes details of the upgrade from Pyrocko version v0.3 to v2017.11 or later.

Starting with v2017.11, Pyrocko supports Python 3. Additionally, Pyrocko’s internal module hierarchy has changed (see Library) - The API is backward-compatible so your old scripts will still work. Under Python 2, upgrading the framework requires purging of the old v0.3 version and installing some new dependencies. Pyrocko will continue to work under Python 2.

Python 3¶

Nothing special has to be considered if you want to start working with Python 3. Simply do a fresh install of Pyrocko as described in Installation.

Python 2¶

If you have previously installed Pyrocko in an older version under Python 2, please follow the steps in the appropriate section below for a clean new installation.

Anaconda2¶

If you have installed Pyrocko v0.3 under Anaconda2 you have to purge the old installation:

conda remove --all pyrocko

Then follow the instructions in Installation under Anaconda.

Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, …¶

Following the steps described in Installation on Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, … will install the new dependencies.

Pyrocko’s setup.py installer recognizes earlier installations of Pyrocko. If there is a conflict it will tell you how to purge your old installation when you try to run python setup.py install.

Ubuntu, Debian, etc.: install new prerequisites and purge old install¶

# upgrade to PyQt5 and other depedencies
sudo apt-get install -y python-requests python-pyqt5
sudo apt-get install -y python-pyqt5 python-pyqt5.qtopengl python-pyqt5.qtsvg
sudo apt-get install -y python-pyqt5.qtwebengine || sudo apt-get install -y python-pyqt5.qtwebkit

# clean Git clone
cd src
rm -rf pyrocko
git clone https://git.pyrocko.org/pyrocko/pyrocko.git
cd pyrocko
sudo python setup.py install  # on failure, reports <directory> to remove
rm -rf <directory>
sudo python setup.py install

Mac OS X with MacPorts¶

If you had Pyrocko v0.3 installed through MacPorts you have to delete that installation:

MacPorts has to install new dependencies¶

sudo rm -rf /opt/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyrocko*
sudo port install py27-pyqt5 py27-requests

cd ~/src/  # or wherever you keep your source packages
rm -rf pyrocko
git clone git://git.pyrocko.org/pyrocko/pyrocko.git pyrocko
cd pyrocko
sudo python setup.py install --install-scripts=/usr/local/bin
