Installing ECCpy

• ECCpy was developed for Anaconda distribution 2020.7 and python 3.8, and therefore requires older versions of packages such as pandas and matplotlib
• open the command prompt
• navigate to the "eccpy" folder where the program is installed. This should contain a file "setup.py".
• create a new python environment for eccpy that uses python 3.8, e.g. conda create -n eccpy python=3.8
• activate environment conda activate eccpy
• install exact packages defined in requirements.txt pip install -r requirements.txt
• install ECCpy pip install --editable . (don't forget the dot!)
• run the automatic tests python -m pytest --disable-warnings. The tests should pass, with some dependency warnings.
• if successful, in python, you should now be able to use the import eccpy statement from python, when the eccpy environment is activated
