Installation on Linux

Download the bash
script

and open a terminal window.

Type:

bash '<path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>'

and simply follow the instructions.

For more information on the command line options type:

bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' --help

It will ask you, whether you want to add a psyplot alias to your
.bashrc, such that you can easily start the terminal and type
psyplot to start the GUI. You can avoid this by setting
NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1. Hence, to install psyplot-conda without any
terminal interaction, run:

NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1 bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' -b -p <target-path>

Uninstallation on Linux

Just delete the folder where you installed psyplot-conda. By default,
this is $HOME/psyplot-conda, so just type:

rm -rf $HOME/psyplot-conda

If you added a psyplot alias to your .bashrc or chose to add the
bin directory to your PATH variable during the installation, open
your $HOME/.bashrc in an editor of your choice and delete those parts.

Installation on OS X

You can either install it from the terminal using a bash-script (.sh
file), or you can install a standalone app using an installer (.pkg
file).

The bash script will install a conda installation in your desired
location. Both will create a Psyplot.app (see below).

Installation using the OS X package

This should be straight-forward, however Apple does not provide free
Developer IDs for open-source developers. Therefore our installers are
not signed and you have to give the permissions to open the files
manually. The 4 steps below describe the process.

  1. Just download the package
    installer

  2. To open it, you have to

    Right-click on the file, then Open With, then Installer. In the
    appearing window, click the Open button.

  3. Follow the instructions. It will create a Psyplot.app in the
    specified location.

  4. To open the app the first time, change to the chosen installation
    directory for the App (by default $HOME/Applications), right-click
    the Psyplot app and click on Open. In the appearing window,
    again click on Open.

Installation using the bash script

Download the bash
script

(file ending on '.sh' for MacOSX) and open a terminal window.

Type:

bash '<path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>'

and simply follow the instructions.

For more informations on the command line options type:

bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' --help

By default, the installer asks whether you want to install a
Psyplot.app into your Applications directory. You can avoid this be
setting NO_PSYPLOT_APP=1.

Furthermore it will ask you, whether you want to add a psyplot alias
to your .bash_profile, such that you can easily start the terminal and
type psyplot to start the GUI. You can avoid this by setting
NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1. Hence, to install psyplot-conda without any
terminal interaction, run:

NO_PSYPLOT_APP=1 NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1 bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' -b -p <target-path>

Uninstallation on OSX

The uninstallation depends on whether you have used the package
installer or the bash script for the installation.

Uninstall the App installed through the OS X package

Just delete the app from your Applications folder. There have been no
changes made to your PATH variable.

Uninstall the App installed via bash script

As for linux, just delete the folder where you installed
psyplot-conda. By default, this is $HOME/psyplot-conda. Open a
terminal and just type:

rm -rf $HOME/psyplot-conda

If you added a psyplot alias to your .bash_profile or chose to add
the bin directory to your PATH variable during the installation,
open your $HOME/.bash_profile in an editor of your choice and delete
those parts.

If you chose to add a Psyplot app, just delete the symbolic link in
/Applications or $HOME/Applications.

Installation on Windows

Just download the installer for
64-bit
or
32-bit,
double click the downloaded file and follow the instructions. The
installation will create an item in the windows menu (Start ->
Programs -> Psyplot) which you can use to open the GUI. You can,
however, also download installers that create no shortcut from below.

In any case, if you chose to modify your PATH variable during the
installation, you can open a command window (cmd) and type psyplot.

Uninstallation on Windows

Just double-click the Uninstall-Anaconda.exe file in the directory
where you installed psyplot-conda and follow the instructions.

This will also revert the changes in your PATH variable.
