A Python package for modeling and inversion in geophysics.

For the moment, Fatiando runs and is tested in Python 2.7. To install and run Fatiando, you'll need the following packages:

• numpy >= 1.8
• scipy >= 0.14
• matplotlib >= 1.3
• mayavi >= 4.3
• PIL >= 1.1.7
• basemap >= 1.0.7
• gcc >= 4.8.2

You can get all of these on Linux, Mac, and Windows through the Anaconda distribution. See file requirements.txt and the documentation.

Download and install the latest release of Fatiando from PyPI:

pip install fatiando

or get the latest development version from Github:

pip install --upgrade https://github.com/fatiando/fatiando/archive/master.zip

Note: fatiando.__version__ has the current version number. If you install from PyPI, this will be something like '0.2'. If you installed from Github, this will be the latest commit hash. This way you can track exactly what version of Fatiando generated your results.
