Installation

Using pip

To install netqasm do

pip install netqasm

To simulate a set of application files using a simulator, additional packages are required. Currently supported simulators are:

:squidasm:`SquidASM <>`: Requires netsquid and :squidasm:`SquidASM <>` installed. For how to install netsquid, see https://netsquid.org/#registration. :squidasm:`SquidASM <>` can be installed using pip while supplying your NetSquid account information:
```
pip install squidasm --extra-index-url=https://{netsquid-user-name}:{netsquid-password}@pypi.netsquid.org
```
:simulaqron:`SimulaQron <>`: Requires only simulaqron which can be installed using pip by
```
pip install simulaqron
```
SimulaQron itself needs a backend to be installed in order to run simulations. One of the supported backends is ProjectQ. To install ProjectQ, do:
```
pip install projectq
```

Note

If you have trouble installing one of the packages above, it may be that you first need to install the wheel package, by pip install wheel.
