9 CHAPTER 2 Installation Prior to using pygmm, Python and the following dependencies need to be installed: matplotlib used for plotting numpy fast vector operations pygmm supports both Python 2.7 and Python Linux Install pygmm dependencies is best accomplished with a package manager. On Arch Linux this can be accomplished with: pacman -S python-numpy python-matplotlib pip 2.2 Windows and OS-X On Windows, installing matplotlib and numpy can be simplified by using Miniconda3. Miniconda3 has installers for Windows 32-bit, Windows 64-bit, and OS-X. After the installer is finished, install the required dependencies by opening a terminal. On Windows, this is best accomplished with Windows Key + r, enter cmd. Next enter the following command: conda install --yes pip setuptools numpy matplotlib On Windows, the text can copied and pasted if Quick Edit mode is enabled. To enable this feature, right click on the icon in the upper left portion of the window, and select Properties, and then check the Quick Edit Mode check box within the Edit Options group. Copy the text, and then paste it by click the right mouse button. 2.3 Installing pygmm After the dependencies have been installed, install or upgrade pygmm using pip: pip install --upgrade pygmm This command can be re-run later to upgrade pygmm to the latest version. 5

11 CHAPTER 3 Usage pygmm is used within Python scripts. Here is a simple example of plotting the influence of V s30 on the Chiou & Youngs (2014) [2] model: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """Plot influence of V_s30 predicted by CY14 model.""" import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import pygmm fig, ax = plt.subplots() for v_s30 in [300, 600, 900]: m = pygmm.chiouyoungs2014( mag=7, dist_jb=20, dist_x=20, dist_rup=25, dip=90, v_s30=v_s30) ax.plot(m.periods, m.spec_accels, label=str(v_s30)) ax.set_xlabel('period (s)') ax.set_xscale('log') ax.set_ylabel('5%-damped Spectral Accel. (g)') ax.set_yscale('log') ax.grid() ax.legend(title='$v_{s30}$ (m/s)') plt.show() 7

22 Explain in detail how it would work. Keep the scope as narrow as possible, to make it easier to implement. Remember that this is a volunteer-driven project, and that contributions are welcome :) 5.2 Get Started! Ready to contribute? Here s how to set up pygmm for local development. 1. Fork the pygmm repo on GitHub. 2. Clone your fork locally: $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/pygmm.git 3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development: $ mkvirtualenv pygmm $ cd pygmm/ $ python setup.py develop 4. Create a branch for local development: $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature Now you can make your changes locally. 5. When you re done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox: $ flake8 pygmm tests $ python setup.py test $ tox To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv. 6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub: $ git add. $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes." $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature 7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website. 5.3 Pull Request Guidelines Before you submit a pull request, check that it meets these guidelines: 1. The pull request should include tests. 2. If the pull request adds functionality, the docs should be updated. Put your new functionality into a function with a docstring, and add the feature to the list in README.rst. 3. The pull request should work for Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5, and for PyPy. Check and make sure that the tests pass for all supported Python versions. 18 Chapter 5. Contributing
