Installation¶
Release: | 0.3.17 |
---|---|
Date: | Jan 18, 2021 |
Prerequisite: Python¶
Before you install latools
, you’ll need to make sure you have a working installation of Python, preferably Python 3.
If you don’t already have this (or are unsure if you do), we recommend that you install one of the pre-packaged science-oriented Python distributions, like Continuum’s Anaconda.
This provides a working copy of Python, and most of the modules that latools
relies on.
If you already have a working Python installation or don’t want to install one of the pre-packaged Python distributions, everything below should work.
Tip
Make sure you set the Anaconda Python installation as the system default, or you are working in a virtual environment that uses the correct Python version. If you don’t know what a virtual environment’ is, don’t worry - just make sure you check the box saying ‘make this my default Python’ at the appropriate time when installing Anaconda.
Installing latools
¶
There are two ways to install latools
. We recommend the first method, which will allow you to easily keep your installation of latools
up to date with new developments.
Both methods require entering commands in a terminal window. On Mac, open the Terminal application in ‘/Applications/Utilities’. On Windows, this is a little more complex - see instructions here.
2. Using conda
