graphsim

Graph similarity algorithms based on NetworkX.

BSD Licensed

Install

First, install building tool:

$ yum install -y scons

On Mac OS:

$ brew install scons

Then install graphsim via PyPI:

$ pip install -U graphsim

Permission Issues

By default, sudo is required to give permission to install cpp modules into system /usr/local/{lib,include}.

If you prefer local installation, following instructions may help you:

export LIBTACSIM_LIB_DIR=~/usr/lib/
export LIBTACSIM_INC_DIR=~/usr/include/

pip install -U graphsim

Make sure that the local directories are aware for C linkers:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=~/usr/include:$C_INCLUDE_PATH
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=~/usr/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH

Coverage

NOTE: libtacsim was tested on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 16.04, CentOS 6.5 and Mac OS 10.11.2, 10.13.2.

Usage

>>> import graphsim as gs
