Source Build

For the majority of use cases, we simply recommend installing via your favorite python package manager,

uv add evalio      # uv
pip install evalio # pip

Building from Source

Building all the available pipelines together is difficult, so we've done our best to separate a build option for just the core types of evalio, and then pipelines can be optionally added in.

Base

We've attempted to make building from source as easy as possible. We generally build through scikit-core-build which provides a simple wrapper for building CMake projects as python packages. uv is our frontend of choice for this process, but it is also possible via pip

uv sync --verbose  # uv version
pip install -e .   # pip version

Of course, building via the usual CMake way is also possible, with the only default dependency being Eigen3,

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Pipelines

By default, pipelines are not included due to their large dependencies. We use vpckg to handle a reliable build of these dependencies and pipelines. vcpkg and the pipelines can be setup via running

./cpp/setup_pipelines.sh

This will clone and setup vcpkg in the .vcpkg directory, and the pipelines (including some minor patches) to cpp/bindings/pipelines-src. vcpkg will automatically be picked up by CMake in this directory, so the build process then continues as in the base section.
