Autolab package¶
This project is hosted in the global python repository PyPi at the following address : https://pypi.org/project/autolab/
To install the Autolab python package on your computer, we then advice you to use the Python package manager pip
in a Python environnement:
pip install autolab
If the package is already installed, you can check the current version installed and upgrade it to the last official version with the following commands:
pip show autolab
pip install autolab --upgrade
Import the Autolab package in a Python shell to check that the installation is correct.
>>> import autolab

With Anaconda:
conda install pyqt
Without:
pip install pyqt5
