In order to install the package just download (or clone) the current project and copy the demon folder in the root of your application.

Alternatively use pip:

sudo pip install eva_lcd

Eva is written in python and requires the following package to run:

• networkx
• numpy

Eva can be executed specifying as input:

• a (labeled) networkx Graph object
• the value of the trade-off parameter (alpha)

import networkx as nx
from Eva import eva_best_partition, modularity, purity

g = nx.karate_club_graph()
part, com_labels = eva_best_partition(g, alpha=0.8)

q = modularity(part, g)
p = purity(com_labels)

An example of execution is also showed in the file "EVA_Example.ipynb"
