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

Install
-------

Note: The following instructions are for Linux and Max OSX systems and only use
command line tools. Please follow the appropriate manuals for Windows systems or

You can install the latest release via pip:

The adventurous can install the most recent development version directly from our master branch (don't use this in production unless there are good reasons!):

   cd NEAT
   pip install .
