With the help of pyinstaller, a stand alone version of beempy was created for Windows, OSX and linux. Each version has just to be unpacked and can be used in any terminal. The packed directories can be found under release. Each release has a hash sum, which is created directly in the build-server before transmitting the packed file. Please check the hash-sum after downloading.

Can be found in CHANGELOG.rst.
