Installation
============

Prerequisites
-------------

``radioactivedecay`` requires Python 3.8+ and the `Matplotlib
<https://matplotlib.org/>`_, `NetworkX

`Pandas <https://pandas.pydata.org/>`_,
`SciPy <https://www.scipy.org/index.html>`_,
`Setuptools <https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/>`_ and 
`SymPy <https://www.sympy.org>`_ packages. These can be
installed from `python.org <https://www.python.org/>`_ and `PyPI
<https://pypi.org/>`_, or via a package manager such as `Anaconda
<https://www.anaconda.com/>`_, `WinPython <https://winpython.github.io/>`_,

    $ cd radioactivedecay
    $ python -m unittest discover
