Installation

Pypi installation

If you don't have a python installation yet I would recommend the miniconda distribution; but any distribution should work.

It is higly recommanded to create a specific conda or virtual environnement to install small fish.

As of version 2.1.0 Small Fish runs on python 3.12.

If you are using conda or miniconda

conda create -n small_fish python=3.12
conda activate small_fish

If you are using venv, after installing the official python 3.12, python-venv and python-tk .

python3.12 -m venv python_env/small_fish
source python_env/small_fish/bin/activate

Then download and install the small_fish package with :

pip install small_fish_gui

Finally launch the software, be patient, first launch can take a few seconds

(small_fish) python -m small_fish_gui
