============ Installation ============ Using Anaconda or Miniconda (recommended) ----------------------------------------- Using conda_ (latest version recommended), AROSICS is installed as follows: 1. Create virtual environment for arosics (optional but recommended): .. code-block:: bash $ conda create -c conda-forge --name arosics python=3 $ conda activate arosics 2. Then install AROSICS itself: .. code-block:: bash $ conda install -c conda-forge 'arosics>=1.3.0' This is the preferred method to install AROSICS, as it always installs the most recent stable release and automatically resolves all the dependencies. Using pip (not recommended) --------------------------- There is also a `pip`_ installer for AROSICS. However, please note that AROSICS depends on some open source packages that may cause problems when installed with pip. Therefore, we strongly recommend to resolve the following dependencies before the pip installer is run: * cartopy * gdal * geopandas * joblib * matplotlib * numpy * pandas * pyfftw * pykrige * pyproj >2.2.0 * scikit-image >=0.21.0 * shapely Then, the pip installer can be run by: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install arosics If you don't have `pip`_ installed, this `Python installation guide`_ can guide you through the process. .. note:: AROSICS has been tested with Python 3.8+. It should be fully compatible to all Python versions from 3.8 onwards. Python 2.7 support was dropped in AROSICS 1.3 due to its end of life status. .. _pip: https://pip.pypa.io .. _Python installation guide: https://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/ .. _conda: https://docs.conda.io
