Installation
Here we explain how to install PyFRAP and all required software. For PyFRAP to run, you need the following programs:
- A Python (Version 2.7) installation with all required packages installed
- Gmsh
- PyFRAP
PyFRAP can be installed in multiple ways depending on the user's needs. Here we provide two ways of installing PyFRAP for all three major operation systems (Windows, OSX, Linux):
- A quick and easy installation guide using installation scripts and the Anaconda Python distribution. These instructions are aimed at users with little knowledge about Python and command line terminals. Using this guide you will automatically have installed all 4 previously mentioned ingredients to run PyFRAP.
- A detailed description on how to install all packages manually. These instructions are suitable for users who are familiar with Python and probably already have a working Python installation running.
In general we recommend using PyFRAP with Ubuntu Linux, since PyFRAP proves to be the easiest to install and use under this OS.
Here we explain how to obtain the two basic requirements, a Python distribution (Anaconda) and PyFRAP itself. Instructions on how to obtain the other two requirements, Fiji and Gmsh, can be found in the advanced installation instructions. Note that if you are using the quick and easy installation guide, you will only need to download Anaconda.
PyFRAP is written in Python2.7. If you do not have a running Python installation yet, we highly recommend using Ananconda. Anaconda is a Python distribution, bringing almost all packages that PyFRAP needs to run (PyQT, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, colorama) in its default installation. Anaconda can be downloaded for all three major OSs here.
If you have git installed, you can download PyFRAP via:
git clone https://github.com/alexblaessle/PyFRAP
You can also download PyFRAP using this link (You will need to unzip the file).
PyFRAP is also available in the Python Package Index (PyPI). PyFRAP can be installed from PyPI via
pip install pyfrp
