1. Getting Started

1.1. Requirements

Bugs reports and feature reqests can be posted on the github issues page.

Most of the persistence computation is teaspoon is now done with Scikit-TDA, which is python based TDA computation. In a few legacy cases, the code still utilizes these other non-Python packages.

1.3. Spork!

For our long time teaspoon users, you might notice the install for teaspoon has been simplified. Based on user feedback, we’ve separated out modules which require boost and CMake as system dependencies. To use the modules including ZigZag persistence, please visit the teaspoon companion package, spork.
