Re: [cclib-users] installing cclib without root access

[Eric B. <er...@pi...>]

Yes, this is the way I run cclib most often. You make a sandboxed virtual
environment:

virtualenv --system-site-packages /path/to/my/virtualenv

With Python 2, it's called virtualenv, for Python 3, it's called pyvenv.
I've added the --system-site-packages flag incase you want to use the
system's version of NumPy or other packages. Otherwise, you'll have to
reinstall them all.

Then, you activate it, so all the software you install will go in there:

source /path/to/my/virtualenv/bin/activate

The other methods brought up here also work well.
