To run delivered Python scripts you need to install
1. Python 2 or 3 distribution or Anaconda 2 or 3, whatever you like
download and install from: www.anaconda.org or www.python.org
Note that Python 2 is not supported since January 2020 so if you start with it start with Python 3 from
the very beginning
Our scripts are Python 2/3 compatible
2. Extra packages to be installed
a) matplotlib
b) xlrd
c) xlwt
d) numpy
e) scipy
f) python-docx
these packages are usually not installed by default
to install them go to the windows command window and type : cmd
you will see a black window
go to the installation Python or Anaconda directory (2 or 3)
c:\ProgramData\Anaconda2\scripts or
c:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\scripts or
c:\ProgramData\python27 or
other directory
when you are already there
just type the command: pip install matplotlib
other packages install in the same way
in order to be sure that all needed packages are installed try to run tutorials and see if they work
if you get a message that some is missing because of dependencies you will need to install it via pip
3. Developing environment (editing, running, debugging)
PyCharm or any other
PyCharm is simply an excellent environment with very good debugger and editor
