Installation

Before installing quantecon we recommend you install the Anaconda Python distribution, which includes a full suite of scientific python tools. Note: quantecon is now only supporting Python version 3.5+. This is mainly to allow code to be written taking full advantage of new features such as using the @ symbol for matrix multiplication. Therefore please install the latest Python 3 Anaconda distribution.

Next you can install quantecon by opening a terminal prompt and typing

pip install quantecon

Usage

Once quantecon has been installed you should be able to import it as follows:

import quantecon as qe

You can check the version by running

print(qe.__version__)

If your version is below what’s available on PyPI then it is time to upgrade. This can be done by running

pip install --upgrade quantecon

Examples and Sample Code

Many examples of QuantEcon.py in action can be found at Quantitative Economics. See also the

QuantEcon.py is supported financially by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and is part of the QuantEcon organization.
