Python installation

You can install the modules required to run APERO in three ways (eventually there will be a setup.py but not yet!

Currently supported options are:

Once python and the required modules are correctly installed you can install APERO - see here.

Warning

We do not recommend ever using the base environment or the system python for installing modules or running the APERO codes.

Installing miniconda (with supplied environment)

This is recommended for maximum compatibility

If you already use miniconda (with python 3) skip to step 3

Note

Make sure the miniconda you download/have is miniconda3

  1. Download miniconda3, i.e. in bash and wget (or go to the anaconda website https:/repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/)

    i.e. the current latest version of Miniconda3 for Linux is this:

    wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

  2. Install miniconda, i.e. with bash

    bash Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

  3. Create a conda environment

    conda env create --name {YOUR ENV NAME} python=3.9

    where {YOUR ENV NAME} should be a suitable name for the apero conda environemnt (e.g. setup_07XXX_mini1 or full_07111)

You should now have an environment called {YOUR ENV NAME}.

Before running or installing APERO you must be in this conda environment, i.e. type:

conda activate {YOUR ENV NAME}

You can now install APERO (see here)

Using anaconda (with supplied environment)

If you already use anaconda (with python 3) skip to step 3

Note

Make sure the anaconda you download/have is anaconda3

  1. Download anaconda3, i.e. in bash and wget (or go to the anaconda website https:/repo.anaconda.com/archive/)

    i.e. the current latest version of Anaconda3 for Linux is this:

    wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh

  2. Install anaconda, i.e. with bash

    bash Anaconda3-2020.07-Linux-x86_64.sh

  3. Create a conda environment

    conda env create --name {YOUR ENV NAME} python=3.9

    where {YOUR ENV NAME} should be a suitable name for the apero conda environemnt (e.g. setup_07XXX_mini1 or full_07111)

You should now have an environment called {YOUR ENV NAME}.

Before running or installing APERO you must be in this conda environment, i.e. type:

conda activate {YOUR ENV NAME}

You can now install APERO (see here)

Manually using pip

Setup your python and install the pip module and create a environement as required, we do not give instructions how to do this here.

We recommend typing which pip to verify you are using the correct pip.

You can now install APERO (see here)

Warning

We do not recommend ever using the base environment or the system python for installing modules or running the APERO codes.
