Installation

To install the qcor nightly binaries (for Mac OS X and Linux x86_64) run the following command from your terminal

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://aide-qc.github.io/deploy/install.sh)"

To use the Python API, be sure to set your PYTHONPATH. For more details, see the full installation documentation page.

Docker Images

Nightly docker images are also available that serve up a VSCode IDE on port 8080. To use this image, run

docker run -it -p 8080:8080 qcor/qcor

and navigate to https://localhost:8080 in your browser to open the IDE and get started with QCOR.

Alternatively, you could use the qcor/cli image providing simple command-line access to the qcor compiler.

docker run -it qcor/cli
