Installation

Tip

For Windows users with relatively little experience with Python, we warmly recommend to use the Anaconda distribution. Anaconda is an all-in-one package containing the Python compiler, an integrated desktop environment (Spyder) and plenty of useful Python packages such as numpy and matplotlib.

Sphecerix is distributed via both Anaconda package as well as PyPI. For Windows, it is recommended to install Sphecerix via Anaconda, while for Linux, we recommend to use PyPI.

Windows / Anaconda

To install Sphecerix under Windows, open an Anaconda Prompt window and run:

conda install -c ifilot sphecerix

Note

Sometimes Anaconda is unable to resolve the package dependencies. This can be caused by a broken environment. An easy solution is to create a new environment. See the “Troubleshooting” section at the end of this page for more information.

Linux / PyPI

To install Sphecerix systemwide, run:

sudo pip install sphecerix

or to install Sphecerix only for the current user, run:

pip install sphecerix
