# Use --pre to get the Balsam pre-release
$ pip install --pre balsam

Balsam developers or service administrators should instead follow the developer installation instructions.

The cryptography sub-dependency of globus-sdk can be troublesome on non-x86 environments, where pip may attempt to build it from source. One workaround is to create a conda environment with the cryptography dependency pre-satisfied, from which pip install works smoothly:

$ module load gcc/10.2.0
$ module load python/3.7.0-anaconda3-5.3.0

$ conda init bash
$ source ~/.bashrc
$ conda create -p ./b2env "cryptography>=1.8.1,<3.4.0" -y
$ conda activate ./b2env

$ pip install --pre balsam
