Installation#

In order to use PATATO, you must have a Python environment set up on your computer. We recommend using Anaconda (http://anaconda.com) to run Python, particularly if you are using Windows. You may wish to setup a separate Anaconda environment to install PATATO, to minimise conflicts between dependency versions.

Tip

If you are using Anaconda, you may wish to create a new environment before installing PATATO. This can be done by running the following command in the Anaconda prompt:

conda create -n patato python=3.9

Then activate the environment by running:

conda activate patato

You can then install PATATO as normal.
