Attributes

These attributes are under the node['scipy'] namespace.

Attribute	Description	Type	Default
install_type	"package" or "source"	String	package
packages	OS packages for installation	Array of Strings	auto-detected (see attributes/default.rb)
pip_packages	PIP packages for installation in requirements format	Array of Strings	auto-detected (see attributes/default.rb)

Recipes

recipe[scipy] default installation of SciPy
recipe[scipy::package] Installs SciPy via OS packages
recipe[scipy::source] Installs SciPy via source

Usage

SciPy Installation

Optionally set node['scipy']['install_type']
Add recipe[scipy] to your node's run list.

Overriding pip Package Versions

For running in a more stable development environment or in production, you may want to hard set the package version installed by pip. To do so, add to or update node['scipy']['pip_packages'] and (if necessary) remove from node['scipy']['packages']. The pip_packages Array accepts package names in requirements format.

For example on Ubuntu 13.04, which installs pandas 0.10.X via package, let's say we'd like to pip install 0.12.0 instead:

Defaults to:

default['scipy']['packages'] = %w{
  ipython
  ipython-notebook
  python-numpy
  python-scipy
  python-matplotlib
  python-nose
  python-pandas
  python-sympy
}
default['scipy']['pip_packages'] = %w{}

Let's override pandas installation:

set['scipy']['packages'] = %w{
  ipython
  ipython-notebook
  python-numpy
  python-scipy
  python-matplotlib
  python-nose
  python-sympy
}
set['scipy']['pip_packages'] = %w{
  pandas==0.12.0
}

Testing and Development

Here's how you can quickly get testing or developing against the cookbook thanks to Vagrant and Berkshelf.

git clone git://github.com/bflad/chef-scipy.git
cd chef-scipy
vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf
vagrant plugin install vagrant-cachier
vagrant plugin install vagrant-omnibus
vagrant up BOX # BOX being centos5, centos6, debian7, fedora18, fedora19, fedora20, freebsd9, ubuntu1204, ubuntu1210, ubuntu1304, or ubuntu1310

You can then SSH into the running VM using the vagrant ssh command. The VM can easily be stopped and deleted with the vagrant destroy command. Please see the official Vagrant documentation for a more in depth explanation of available commands.

Contributing

Please use standard Github issues/pull requests and if possible, in combination with testing on the Vagrant boxes.
