Installation

We recommend using a virtual environment to keep your dependencies isolated. We strongly suggest installing pyCO2 in a Conda Environment.

Step 1: Installing Anaconda

First, install Anaconda for your OS.

To create a new environment in the anaconda prompt write and run, row by row:

conda create -n pyco2env python=3.10
conda activate pyco2env

Now, there are two recommended ways to install pyco2stats: via the Python Package Index (PyPI) or directly from the source repository on GitHub.

The easiest way to install the latest stable release of pyco2stats is the following. In the anaconda or command prompt write and run:

pip install pyco2stats

This will also install all required dependencies (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, matplotlib, plotly, etc.).

If you want the latest development version, in the anaconda or command prompt write and run:

pip install git+https://github.com/AIVolcanoLab/pyco2stats.git

Alternatively, clone the repository manually and install in editable mode. In the anaconda or command prompt write and run, row by row:

git clone https://github.com/AIVolcanoLab/pyco2stats.git
cd pyco2stats
pip install -e .

This setup allows you to track changes to the source code without reinstalling.

Upgrade pip, setuptools, and wheel to avoid most build issues:

pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
