Installing#
There are different ways to install Choclo:
Using the conda package manager (or mamba)
that comes with the Anaconda, Miniconda, or Miniforge distributions:
conda install choclo --channel conda-forge
Using the pip package manager:
python -m pip install choclo
You can use pip to install the latest unreleased version from
GitHub (not recommended in most situations):
python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/fatiando/choclo
Tip
The commands above should be executed in a terminal. On Windows, use the
cmd.exe or the “Anaconda Prompt” / “Miniforge Prompt” app if you’re using
Anaconda / Miniforge.
Which Python?
See Supported Python versions for a list of supported Python versions.
Note
We recommend using the
Miniforge distribution
to ensure that you have the conda package manager available.
Installing Miniforge does not require administrative rights to your computer
and doesn’t interfere with any other Python installations in your system.
It’s also much smaller than the Anaconda distribution and is less likely to
break when installing new software.
Dependencies#
The required dependencies should be installed automatically when you install
Choclo using conda or pip. Optional dependencies have to be
installed manually.
