Released versions of the NeXus Python API are available on PyPI. If you have the Python Setup Tools installed, then you can install using either:
$ pip install nexusformat
or:
$ easy_install nexusformat
or:
$ conda install -c https://conda.anaconda.org/nexpy nexusformat
If you have trouble with the pip or easy_install installations, you can install the package from the source code either by downloading one of the Github releases or by cloning the latest development version in the NeXpy Git repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/nexpy/nexusformat.git
You can then install NeXpy by changing to the source directory and typing:
$ python setup.py install
To install in an alternate location:
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/installation/dir

The NeXus format for neutron, x-ray and muon data is developed by an international collaboration under the supervision of the NeXus International Advisory Committee. The Python tree API used in NeXpy was originally developed by Paul Kienzle, who also wrote the standard Python interface to the NeXus C-API.
