Installation¶
Note: If you would like to use the pytc API in addition to the GUI, we recommend installing the python scientific computing stack and then installing pytc-gui via the pip method.
Windows or Mac installation¶
For users who only want to use the GUI
- Windows: download the installation file and follow the prompts for the installer.
- Mac: download the dmg file, unpack it, and then drag the pytc icon into the Applications folder.
It will install its own mini python scientific computing stack, independent of other python distributions installed on the system.
pip installation (windows, mac, or linux)¶
For users who want to use the GUI and API or for users who want to use an existing python installation
Make sure that python3 and pip3 are already installed (see below).
Option 1: pip. In a terminal, type:
pip3 install pytc-gui
Option 2: git. In a terminal, type:
git clone https://github.com/harmslab/pytc-gui.git
cd pytc-gui
pip3 install .
Installing python3¶
You can obtain python3 from the following sources:
