        PyPhi: |phi| for Python 3
        *************************
        
        PyPhi is a Python 3 library for computing integrated information (|phi|), and
        the associated quantities and objects.
        
        If you use this code, please cite both this repository (DOI
        `10.5281/zenodo.12194 <http://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.12194>`_) and the IIT
        3.0 paper (DOI `10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003588
        <http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003588>`_).
        
        
        Usage, Examples, and API documentation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Check out the `documentation for the latest release
        <https://pythonhosted.org/pyphi>`_, or the `documentation for the latest
        development version <https://wmayner.github.io/pyphi>`_.
        
        The documentation is also available within the Python interpreter with the
        ``help`` function.
        
        
        Installation
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        Set up a Python 3 virtual environment and install with
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install pyphi
        
        To install the latest development version, which is a work in progress and may
        have bugs, run:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            pip install "git+https://github.com/wmayner/pyphi@develop#egg=pyphi"
        
        **Note:** this software has only been tested on the Mac OS X and Linux
        operating systems. Windows is not supported, though it might work on with minor
        modifications. If you do get it to work, a writeup of the steps would be much
        appreciated!
        
        
        Detailed installation guide for Mac OS X
        ````````````````````````````````````````
        
        `See here <https://github.com/wmayner/pyphi/blob/develop/INSTALLATION.md>`_.
        
        
        Optional: caching with a database
        `````````````````````````````````
        
        PyPhi stores the results of |Phi| calculations as they're computed in order to
        avoid expensive re-computation. These results can be stored locally on the
        filesystem (the default setting), or in a full-fledged database. 
        
        Using the default caching system is easier and works out of the box, but using
        a database is more robust.
        
        To use the database-backed caching system, you must install `MongoDB
        <http://www.mongodb.org/>`_. Please see their `installation guide
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/>`_ for instructions.
        
        Once you have MongoDB installed, use ``mongod`` to start the MongoDB server.
        Make sure the ``mongod`` configuration matches the PyPhi's database
        configuration settings in ``pyphi_config.yml`` (see the `configuration section
        <https://pythonhosted.org/pyphi/index.html#configuration>`_ of PyPhi's
        documentation).
        
        You can also check out MongoDB's `Getting Started guide
        <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/getting-started/>`_ or the full
        `manual <http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/>`_.
        
        
        Contributing
        ~~~~~~~~~~~~
        
        To help develop PyPhi, fork the project on GitHub and install the requirements
        with ``pip install -r requirements.txt``.
        
        Development workflow
        ````````````````````
        
        ``Gruntfile.js`` defines some tasks to help with development. These are run
        with `Grunt.js <http:gruntjs.com>`_.
        
        To get ``grunt``, first install `Node.js <http://nodejs.org/>`_. Then, within
        the ``pyphi`` directory, run ``npm install`` to install the local ``npm``
        dependencies, then run ``sudo npm install -g grunt grunt-cli`` to install the
        ``grunt`` command to your system. Now you should be able to run tasks with
        ``grunt``, *e.g.*
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            grunt test
        
        which will run the unit tests every time you change the source code. Similarly,
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            grunt docs
        
        will rebuild the HTML documentation on every change.
        
        At some point I'll try to use a Makefile instead, since many more people have
        access to ``make``.
        
        Developing on Linux

        Make sure you install the Python 3 C headers before installing the
        requirements:
        
        .. code:: bash
        
            sudo apt-get install python3-dev python3-scipy python3-numpy
