Installation

Using pip

To install netqasm do

pip install netqasm

To simulate a set of application files using a simulator, additional packages are required. Currently supported simulators are:

• SquidASM: Requires netsquid and SquidASM installed. For how to install netsquid, see https://netsquid.org/#registration. SquidASM can be installed using pip while supplying your NetSquid account information:

  pip install squidasm --extra-index-url=https://{netsquid-user-name}:{netsquid-password}@pypi.netsquid.org
  

• SimulaQron: Requires only simulaqron which can be installed using pip by

  pip install simulaqron
  

  SimulaQron itself needs a backend to be installed in order to run simulations. One of the supported backends is ProjectQ. To install ProjectQ, do:

  pip install projectq
  

Note

If you have trouble installing one of the packages above, it may be that you first need to install the wheel package, by pip install wheel.
