Installation

Open GPIAS can be installed in different ways, you can choose the one which is the most comfortable for you and the operating system you are using.

Windows Installer

If you have no Python installation and just want to get started, our installer is the best option for you. Just download and execute the following installer:

This will install the miniconda environment, if it is not already installed and download the open_gpias conda package.

Note

Open GPIAS will be by default installed in a new conda environment called _app_own_environment_open_gpias.

Python Packages

If you are already familiar with python and have a python installation, you can choose one of the following ways:

  • If you are in a conda env: conda install -c conda-forge -c dlidstrom -c rgerum open_gpias (recomended)

  • Or with python setup.py install

We recommend the conda installation, as this should always be the newest version of Open GPIAS.
