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 Leiden University, Instituut-Lorenz KLOSS Thomas – Fri., 12. August 2016 17:13

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
