$ cd dfogn-X.X

DFO-GN is written in pure Python and requires no compilation. It can be installed using:

If you do not have root privileges or you want to install DFO-GN for your private use, you can use:

If you installed DFO-GN manually, you can test your installation by running:

$ [sudo] pip uninstall dfogn

If DFO-GN was installed manually you have to remove the installed files by hand (located in your python site-packages directory).
