Installation

GUI for Windows

For Windows users that only intend to use graphical interface, tesliper is available as a standalone .exe application, available for download from the latest release under the Assets section at the bottom of the page. No installation is required, just double-click the downloaded Tesliper.exe file to run the application.

Unfortunately, a single-file installation is not available for unix-like systems. Please follow a terminal-based installation instructions below.

Install from terminal

tesliper is a Python package distributed via PyPI. You can install it to your python distribution simply by running:

python -m pip install tesliper

in your terminal. This will download and install tesliper along with it’s essential dependencies. A graphical interface have an additional dependency, but it may be easily included in your installation if you use python -m pip install tesliper[gui] instead. Some users of unix-like systems may also need to instal tkinter manually, if it is not included in their distribution by default. Please refer to relevant online resources on how to do this in your system, if that is your case.

Note

Reminder for zsh users to quote the braces like this 'tesliper[gui]' or like this tesliper\[gui] when installing extras. This is necessary, because normally zsh uses some[thing] syntax for pattern matching.

Requirements

This software needs at least Python 3.6 to run. It also uses some additional packages:

numpy
openpyxl
matplotlib (optional, for GUI)

Note

tesliper uses tkinter to deliver the graphical interface. It is included in most Python distributions, but please be aware, that some might miss it. You will need to install it manually in such case.
