Installing Bob

We offer pre-compiled binary installations of Bob using conda for Linux 64-bit operating systems. To install this version of Bob, first install miniconda, then use the following command to create an environment for Bob:

$ conda create -n bob12x -c https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda bob=1.2
$ conda activate bob12x
$ python
...
>>> import bob  ##enjoy!

On the other hand, if the supported binary installation methods are not appropriate or you would like to become a developer of Bob, you may try to compile Bob yourself as explained at Compiling Bob Yourself.
