Installation

Download and unzip the zip file, or clone the git repository. Go into the root directory of epidemo/. You should see (at least) the following contents:

docs/
epidemo/
examples/
setup.py
README.md

Make sure you use Python 3, not the old Python 2. Now type:

pip install -e .

This should install the package. Now in e.g. iPython you can load the package:

import epidemo

That should work without any message. A first example model run could be e.g.:

import epidemo
model = epidemo.LookBackModel(83000000,1.33,'2020-08-16','2021-06-01')
model.reset_init_infected(10)
model.run()

The result is in model.Ninf_new (the new infected each day), model.Ninf_cum (the cumulative infected).

This is just a simple example. See next chapter for more detailed directions.
