Installation

  1. Install Miniconda3 (this instruction is for Python 3.6+). I suggest installing to default location and not adding Miniconda to the PATH unless you have a reason - the app starts nicely via shortcut to be created.

  2. If on Windows install Git Bash. Install instructions are straight-forward.

  3. (Optional if on Unix. Needed only if the app developer is lazy and the environment installs modules from GitHub) Install Git. Install instructions are straight-forward. Another option on macOS is to install the Xcode Command Line Tools. On Mavericks (10.9) or above you can do this simply by trying to run git from the Terminal the very first time.

    git --version

    If you don’t have it installed already, it will prompt you to install it.

    UPD for developer: or you can add git to conda deps.

  4. (Optional. Needed only if the app developer is lazy and the environment compiles some modules) If on Windows install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 from visualstudio.com. Check Windows 8.1 SDK and Windows 10 SDK options. Previous version: Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools 2015.

  5. Create conda environment with the app:

    • open this folder in terminal (if on Windows: right mouse click in the white space of the current folder then "Git Bash Here"),

    • type . ./install, enter,

      or

    • open terminal (Git Bash if on Windows),

    • type dot (.), type space ( ),

    • drag'n'drop install script to the terminal, enter

Uninstall

If you need to uninstall environment - run terminal with activated root conda environment. Then type:

conda remove --name app --all
conda env remove --name app

Sometimes conda environment is not deleted but renamed and placed to special trash folder inside root Miniconda installation. It's out of action this way but still takes disk space. You may need to delete it via conda clean --help. Manually deleting may break your conda installation.

Reinstall

If you need to reinstall the app (this would be with latest packages) simply run installation again: it will delete the appropriate environment first.

Save this folder somewhere in case you would like to reinstall it in future.
