Windows

1. Install Miniconda

To install Miniconda via curl, use the following command:

curl -o Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe

Then open the installer, do not forget to ADD TO PATH

2. Create a Conda Environment

Once Miniconda is installed, open the Command Prompt and run the following command to create a new conda environment named coating:

conda env create -f environment.yml

The *.yml file can be found here.

Activate the environment with:

conda activate coating

3. Create a Batch File for Customizing Fiji

Create a batch file (e.g., run_fiji.bat) to automate the process of activating the environment and launching Fiji. You need to save it as "Other files". In the batch file, add the following commands:

@echo off
REM Activate Conda environment
call C:\Users\YourUsername\miniconda3\Scripts\activate.bat coating

REM Start Fiji (ImageJ)
start "" "C:\Users\YourUsername\Fiji.app\ImageJ-win64.exe"

• To make it nicer, you can create a shortcut with a custom icon. Just place the .bat file inside the Fiji folder and change the shortcut icon. :D
