Big-FISH
Getting started
To avoid dependency conflicts, we recommend the the use of a dedicated virtual or conda environment. In a terminal run the command:
$ conda create -n bigfish_env python=3.6
$ source activate bigfish_env
We recommend two options to then install Big-FISH in your virtual environment.
Download the package from PyPi
Use the package manager pip to install Big-FISH. In a terminal run the command:
$ pip install big-fish
Clone package from Github
Clone the project’s Github repository and install it manually with the following commands:
$ git clone git@github.com:fish-quant/big-fish.git
$ cd big-fish
$ pip install .
Examples
Several examples are available as Jupyter notebooks:

You can also run these example online with mybinder. The remote server can take a bit of time to start.
