Installation

ClickPoints can be installed in different ways, you can choose the one which is the most comfortable for you and the operating system you are using.

Windows Installer

If you have no Python installation and just want to get started, our installer is the best option for you. Just download and execute the following installer:

Download: ClickPoints Installer

This will install the miniconda environment, if it is not already installed and download the clickpoints conda package.

Note

ClickPoints will be by default installed in a new conda environment called _app_own_environment_clickpoints.

Python Packages

If you are already familiar with python and have a python installation, you can choose one of the following ways:

• If you are in a conda env: conda install -c conda-forge -c rgerum clickpoints (recomended)
• If you have pip: pip install clickpoints
• Or with python setup.py install

We recommend the conda installation, as this should always be the newest version of ClickPoints.

If you want to register clickpoints for the typical file extensions, e.g. add it to the right click menu, execute

clickpoints register

If you want to remove it again, call

clickpoints unregister

Developer Version

If you want to have ClickPoints installed from the repository and be able to update to the newest changesets, you can follow this guide. First of all you need to have mercurial installed (Mercurial). Then you can open a command line in the folder where you want to install ClickPoints and run the following command:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/fabry_biophysics/clickpoints

To install the package with all dendencies, execute:

python install_requirements_with_conda.py

in the downloaded repository directory. Then execute

clickpoints register

which will add clickpoints to the right click menu in the file explorer.
