Installation Guide

Where to get ChemEx

Install files for all platforms (Linux, OS X and Windows) are available for download from github.

Requirements

ChemEx requires NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib and LMfit to be installed. An easy way of obtaining and installing these packages is to use a Python distribution which provides these packages, such as Anaconda or Intel Distribution for Python.

Installation

The easiest way to install ChemEx is via conda from the command line (indicated with $):

$ conda install -c conda-forge chemex

Note that there is minimum version of Python required, if your version of Python is less than 3.7, you can install ChemEx in a separate conda environment enforcing the use of Python 3.7:

$ conda create -c conda-forge -n chemex python=3.7 chemex
$ conda activate chemex

ChemEx is also available via the Python package index using pip:

$ pip install chemex

The development version can be installed directly from github via pip:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/gbouvignies/chemex.git

Another option (not recommended) is to extract the downloaded .tar.gz or .zip file and run:

$ python setup.py install
