Anaconda with Conda Installation¶

The Anaconda package can be downloaded from the Anaconda Distribution page for Windows, macOS and Linux platforms. Follow the very simple instructions given there for installation. For first time users we also recommend reading Getting started with conda and print out the Conda user cheat sheet reference.

Note

We recommend the installation of PYTHON 3 Anaconda packages. This version will default to Python 3 when creating new environments and building packages.

Note

While Anaconda is available free of charge for personal use, users may need to purchase an Anaconda license if they are doing commercial development. Please check the Anaconda license terms.

Hint

We recommend using the Anaconda package, which is a complete suite containing hundreds of open source Python packages. If disk-space is limited, we recommend the mini version of Anaconda, namely, Miniconda. Miniconda includes conda, its dependencies and Python.

The Miniconda package can be downloaded from Anaconda’s Miniconda page for Windows, macOS and Linux platforms.

After downloading and installing Anaconda, the OpenEye Python Toolkit package can be installed by the following steps:

First create a new conda environment:

$ conda create -n oepython python=3

Proceed ([y]/n)?

After entering “y” to proceed, a new ‘oepython’ environment will be created with Python 3.8.

Activate the newly created ‘oepython’ environment:
```
$ source activate oepython
(oepython) $
```
Warning

It is very important to activate a work environment before performing any additional installations, otherwise packages will be installed into the global Python environment.

Install the OpenEye Python Toolkits into the new environment:

(oepython) $ conda install -c openeye openeye-toolkits

Warning

Setting the environment variable PYTHONPATH will override the path to the Python modules installed in a conda environment. Make sure PYTHONPATH is not set when using a virtual environment.
