To install the library just download (or clone) the current project and copy the ndlib folder in the root of your application.
Alternatively use pip:
sudo pip install ndlibFor examples, tutorials and a complete reference visit the project documentation website on ReadTheDocs.
If you would like to test NDlib functionalities withouth installing anything on your machine consider using the preconfigured Jupyter Hub instances offered by SoBigData++.
