Installation Guide

Installing ForSys package

We recommend using Conda to create a virtual environment for ForSys. This will help you manage dependencies. For instance, using Miniconda you can create a new environment with Python 3.8 or higher:

conda create -n forsys python=3.11

Then, activate the environment:

conda activate forsys

In this example, forsys is the name of the environment. You can choose any name you prefer.

Installing with pip

After activating the enviroment, run

pip install forsys

Or, to install a specific version, use the following command:

pip install forsys==<version>

And replace <version> with the desired version number (i.e 1.0.0). For reference, you can check the available versions on PyPi. To run our Fiji plugin, ForSys needs to be at least version 1.1.0. This version also has a Command line interface.
