Installation

Installation

PhysioFit requires Python 3.9 or higher and run on all platforms supporting Python3 (Windows, MacOS and Linux). If you do not have a Python environment configured on your computer, we recommend that you follow the instructions from Anaconda.

To install PhysioFit using Python’s built-in installer, you can just run the following command in a terminal:

pip install physiofit

Tip

We recommend the creation of isolated environments for each python tool you install in your system using the python built-in venv package or Anaconda.

If this method does not work, you should ask your local system administrator or the IT department “how to install a Python 3 package from PyPi” on your computer.

PhysioFit is freely available and is distributed under open-source license at http://github.com/MetaSys-LISBP/ .

Alternatives & updates

If you know that you do not have permission to install software system-wide, you can install PhysioFit into your user directory using the --user flag:

pip install --user physiofit

This does not require any special privileges.

Once the package is installed, you can update it using the following command:

pip install -U physiofit

Alternatively, you can also download all sources in a tarball from GitHub, but it will be more difficult to update PhysioFit later on.
