How to install networkx (or any other package)
-
Hi, I was wondering whether there is a way to install networkx (which is a package on pypi) or how to install other packages in general. I am a bit confused with the different ways people are suggesting, such as using wget or using stash, etc. How do we actually install packages? I would greatly appreciate any help on this... Thanks.

If .you search on the forum for
networkx
, you will see that this question has been asked and answered several times. -
It would be nice if you could actually be of help instead of telling me to 'look it up'. I already have- and the answer given two years ago (downloading package and then using iTunes and/or some other program to put it into site packages) no longer works since iOS 8. Pythonista doesn't have iTunes file sharing and from what I understand there is no way to actually import a package either by importing it or by using the 'open in' extension. This is why I asked the question even though an answer was given a couple of years ago.

I did the following steps to install networkx.
- In stash, I did "pip install networkx"
- networkx got installed but it gave error in installing "decorator"
- I tried installing "decorator" module separately ('pip install decorator"), it failed again.
- I copied decorator.py from the following url to site-packages
https://github.com/micheles/decorator/tree/master/src
5, I tried the following basic example and it worked.

Thanks so much for your help... I have gotten it to work after following your steps .. much appreciated!

Sorry, I don't see how to install networkx on pythonista on my iPad from these instructions. I don't have a terminal, so I can't run pip, right? And what is stash?

"What is stash?" is probably the first question you should have asked :) In this case, the search button produced many threads about the StaSh.
