Installation (Windows)

Introduction

The following steps will cover the installation of the geovar program on a Windows system

NOTES:

• geovar was written in Python 3.x
• geovar has been tested in Python 3.6 & 3.7 Windows users may install Python through software suites like Anaconda, ultimately affecting path variables by prioritizing the suite's directoy during installation. To achieve best results, we recommend the removal of Anaconda from PATH or remove the suite entirely

Installation

1. Install the latest version of Python 3.x

   • Ensure to download and install the 64-bit version of Python 3.x
   • Add Python 3.x to your system's PATH variable

2. Using the Windows Command Prompt, install the following packages

   python -m pip install -U pip
   python -m pip install onshapepy
   python -m pip install numpy
   python -m pip install lxml
   python -m pip install pexpect
   python -m pip install vtk
   

   NOTES:

   • IF Any additional modules are missing ModuleNorFoundError: No module named '<module_name>', try installing said module in the command prompt python -m pip install <module_name>
   • Missing modules ModuleNorFoundError: No module named '<module_name>' will be identified by IDLE

3. Clone the geovar GitHub repo
