1. Installation instructions

1.1. Installing fakecbed

For all installation scenarios, first open up the appropriate command line interface. On Unix-based systems, you would open a terminal. On Windows systems you would open an Anaconda Prompt as an administrator.

Before installing fakecbed, it is recommended that users install PyTorch in the same environment that they intend to install fakecbed according to the instructions given here for their preferred PyTorch installation option.

1.1.1. Installing fakecbed using pip

The easiest way to install fakecbed using pip is to run the following command:

pip install fakecbed

The above command will install the latest stable version of fakecbed.

To install the latest development version from the main branch of the fakecbed GitHub repository, one must first clone the repository by running the following command:

git clone https://github.com/mrfitzpa/fakecbed.git

Next, change into the root of the cloned repository, and then run the following command:

pip install .

Note that you must include the period as well. The above command executes a standard installation of fakecbed.

Optionally, for additional features in fakecbed, one can install additional dependencies upon installing fakecbed. To install a subset of additional dependencies (along with the standard installation), run the following command from the root of the repository:

pip install .[<selector>]

where <selector> can be one of the following:

  • tests: to install the dependencies necessary for running unit tests;

  • examples: to install the dependencies necessary for running the jupyter notebooks stored in <root>/examples, where <root> is the root of the repository;

  • docs: to install the dependencies necessary for documentation generation;

  • all: to install all of the above optional dependencies.

1.1.2. Installing fakecbed using conda

For Windows systems, users must install PyTorch separately prior to following the remaining instructions below.

To install fakecbed using the conda package manager, run the following command:

conda install -c conda-forge fakecbed

The above command will install the latest stable version of fakecbed.

1.2. Uninstalling fakecbed

If fakecbed was installed using pip, then to uninstall, run the following command from the root of the repository:

pip uninstall fakecbed

If fakecbed was installed using conda, then to uninstall, run the following command from the root of the repository:

conda remove fakecbed
