  10 Dependencies
  11 ------------
  12
  13 LinPy requires Python version 3.4 or above to work.
  14
  15 LinPy's one mandatory dependency is `isl <http://isl.gforge.inria.fr/>`_ version 0.12 or 0.13 (it may work with other versions of isl, but this has not been tested).
  16 isl can be downloaded `here <http://freshmeat.net/projects/isl/>`_ or preferably, using your favorite package manager.
  17 For Debian or Ubuntu, the command to run is::
  18
  19     sudo apt-get install libisl-dev
  20
  21 For Arch Linux, run::
  22
  23     sudo pacman -S isl
  24
  25 Apart from isl, there are two optional dependencies that will maximize the use of LinPy's functions: `SymPy <http://sympy.org/en/index.html>`_ and `matplotlib <http://matplotlib.org/>`_.
  26 Please consult the `SymPy download page <http://sympy.org/en/download.html>`_ and `matplotlib installation instructions <http://matplotlib.org/faq/installing_faq.html#how-to-install>`_ to install these libraries.
