Installation

You will find here the recommended way to install OpenAlea.

Installing Conda

In order to install OpenAlea, you will need Conda, a package manager. You will find information about installing it in the Miniconda site.

Using Miniconda is recommended as it is the minimal build for Conda wich allow to install only the necessary packages.

Installing OpenAlea

Firstly, you will need to create a conda environment named "openalea", then install in this environment the OpenAlea package you want :

conda create -n openalea -c openalea -c anaconda openalea.<*package_name*>

For example, if you want to install MTG, core and Caribu from OpenAlea :

conda create -n openalea -c openalea -c anaconda openalea.lpy openalea.mtg alinea.caribu

Then you want to activate the environment :

conda activate Openalea

In this environment you can install other packages and use the OpenAlea modules normally, without modifying anything but the environment.
