Dear Thomas,

as far as I know Bas Nijholt kindly provides builds for Anaconda environment. So, the simpliest way would be to install Anaconda environment:

https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install

and then install Kwant, running in terminal:

$ conda install -c basnijholt kwant

Unfortunaly, can't test this.

Another option would be compiling from source sequential (non-MPI) version of MUMPS library (probably also Scotch and Metis), and then providing correct build.conf, following this section of tutorial:

https://kwant-project.org/doc/1/pre/install

Unfortunately, nobody from core developer group uses Mac, so they don't provide official builds for it.

With best regards, Viacheslav Ostroukh

Dear All,

I would like to install Kwant using Python 3 under OS X (on my Macbook Pro, OS X 10.6).

For Mac OS X however, the guidelines on the Kwant webside cover only the Python 2 installation.

Is there a way to install Kwant using Python 3 on a Mac?

Kind Regards,

Thomas Kloss
