Installation

Package

Packages on PyPI are available for Linux and MacOS X (with Apple silicon), for Python 3.11 to 3.14.:

pip install madspace

Build

First install scikit_build_core with:

pip install scikit_build_core

The pre-installed version of cmake under MacOS is outdated, so you might need to install a newer version, for example with:

brew install cmake

Then check out the madspace repository and build and install it with:

git clone git@github.com:madgraph-ml/madspace.git
cd madspace
pip install .

For a development version allowing for incremental build, use the following command instead:

pip install --no-build-isolation -Cbuild-dir=build -Ccmake.build-type=RelWithDebInfo .

This will create a directory build where you can run make directly to make development easier. To update the python module itself, make sure to also run the pip install command above again. This will not happen automatically, even if you make the installation editable! Build type RelWithDebInfo generates optimized code but includes debug symbols, so you can use lldb or gdb to debug the code.
