Installation

Benchpress is distributed via PyPi and Github, which means that you can install it from a Python package (from PyPi) or directly from an unpacked tarball or git-clone from Github.com.

Note

Benchpress is designed to work, with minimal friction, in an environment where the user has limited system permissions. Such as shared computing environments, clusters and supercomputers. A system-wide installation of Benchpress is therefore untested. However, it should work if write permission is assigned to Benchpress users for the benchmarks folder.

From pypi.python.org

The following shows how to do a user-mode / local installation:

pip install benchpress --user

Extend your $PATH, such that the binaries (bp-run, bp-run, bp-cli, bp-chart) are readily available:

export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin

When you are done using Benchpress, purging it from your system is as easy as:

pip uninstall benchpress

From clone or tarball

Clone the repos:

git clone https://github.com/bh107/benchpress.git
cd benchpress

or download and unpack a tarball:

wget https://github.com/bh107/benchpress/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip
cd bohrium-benchpress

And install it:

pip install . --user

When developing Benchpress use PyPi’s developer installation:

pip install . –user -e
