PyWEED Installation
PyWEED is distributed as an anaconda package.
Some troubleshooting information can be found in Support.
Install Anaconda/Miniconda (if needed)
This is the conda package manager. Miniconda is a lighter version of Anaconda, and is recommended.
This page includes both 2.x and 3.x versions, it’s better to get the 3.x version. (It doesn’t strictly matter, though.)
Mac/Linux: the installation process should put the conda
command in your shell PATH
.
Windows: launch the Anaconda Prompt application installed by Miniconda for the next steps.
Install PyWEED
Run the following command:
conda create -n pyweed -c conda-forge python=3 pyweed
This creates a pyweed
environment in Anaconda, and installs Python 3, PyWEED,
and all associated dependencies from conda-forge into that environment.
Running PyWEED
Mac/Linux
conda activate pyweed
pyweed
Windows (from the Anaconda Prompt)
activate pyweed
pyweed
Other Options
Network Install
Mac/Linux only
This command should perform a complete installation:
bash <(curl -Ss https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iris-edu/pyweed/master/installer/install.sh)
This downloads and runs a script that essentially performs the steps outlined above.
Clickable Application
Mac/Windows only
This produces a small application that will launch PyWEED when clicked, suitable for adding to your Desktop or launch bar.
Mac
conda activate pyweed
pyweed_build_launcher
mv PyWEED.app /Applications/
Windows
activate pyweed
pyweed_build_launcher
move PyWEED.bat Desktop
