Installing

Eelbrain can be installed from conda-forge (pre-compiled) and from the Python Package Index (PyPI; requires compilation).

The recommended way to use Eelbrain is in a separate Conda environment. The recommended tool for managing Conda environments is Mamba.

A straight forward way to create an environment with the libraries you need is using an environment.yml file. The Alice repository’s environment.yml can serve as a starting point):

$ mamba env create --file=environment.yml

In an existing environment, Eelbrain can generally be updated with the following command (assuming the target environment is currently active):

(eelbrain) $ mamba update eelbrain

Sometimes Mamba may run into difficulties while updating and it may be easier to create a new environment instead.
