Installation with conda

Anaconda, is a cross-platform Python distribution with its own package manager conda. For a more lightweight installation, consider installing Miniconda. Only the Python 3 version, Anaconda3/Miniconda3 is supported for Pyrocko versions above v2021.04.02.

From binary packages using conda

Pre-built packages are available for 64-bit Linux, MacOS and Windows. You can use can use the conda package manager to install the Pyrocko framework:

Pre-built Pyrocko conda packages are available for Linux, MacOS and Windows.

conda install -c pyrocko pyrocko

From source

Here’s how to download, compile and install the latest Pyrocko version under Anaconda on Linux or MacOS. For Windows source installs, please refer to Installation on Windows: From source.

Build and install from source

cd ~/src/   # or wherever you keep your source packages
git clone https://git.pyrocko.org/pyrocko/pyrocko.git pyrocko
cd pyrocko
# make sure the correct conda environment is activated
python3 install.py deps conda  # install prerequisites with conda
python3 install.py user        # build and install Pyrocko with pip

Note: The native conda and pip commands to be run are printed before execution and must be confirmed.

This is the one case where pip is used in a conda environment: conda has no direct way to install a package from a source directory. install.py user runs pip with --no-deps --no-build-isolation, so that pip only builds and installs Pyrocko itself, while all prerequisites come from conda. Don’t use pip in the conda environment for anything else (see Avoid mixing package managers).

For instructions on how to install Pyrocko on other systems or if the installation with the above procedure fails, see Package manager installations or Detailed installation instructions.
