4. Installation

From Python installer

From pip, proceed as follows:

First of all, if a virtual environment (e.g. myvenv) has been previously created, and it is the desired working environment, it should be activated. You can do it by typing from Terminal (in MacOS©/Unix):

source myenv/bin/activate

or, from a system console in Windows™ platforms:

.\myvenv\Scripts\activate

Also, the python installer pip itself should be updated:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Note

Be sure the python root folder is present in the system path.

Finally, the pvlab package can be installed:

python -m pip install --upgrade pvlab

From Anaconda IDE

When using the Anaconda IDE, pvlab can be installed both by typing:

conda install pvlab

or, alternatively, from the Anaconda™ navigator, following the sequence: Environments > Search Packages, and selecting the pvlab package.
