Installation Instructions

If you are new to Python, please install the Anaconda distribution (available on OSX, Linux and Windows). Everyone else, feel free to use your favorite distribution, but please ensure the requirements below are met.

Test your setup

import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
import matplotlib as mpl
import skimage

for module in (np, sp, mpl, skimage):
    print(module.__name__, module.__version__)

On my computer, I see:

numpy 1.11.0
scipy 0.17.0
matplotlib 1.5.1
skimage 0.12.3

Please make sure you have numpy >= 1.10, scipy >= 0.15, matplotlib >= 1.5, skimage >= 0.12.
