RE: Installation guide for spltools, and beginner instructions for running the spltools example python scripts.

Yeah good old conda... used it in the past very often. Now mostly use venvs in pycharm.

This is a nice manual for starting users 👏.

You may consider using requirement.txt for the request/numpy and eventual other dependencies.
Then the manual stays the same pip install -r requirements.txt

Sort:  

Sure, I should eventually do a requirements file. For now the dependency list is small, and for this post I think it was actually valuable to show how to install packages in conda. After all, that is super easy as long as the package is in the conda repos.

I like to use conda because that introduces the linux-like terminal even on windows, and once I have that everything is much easier.

I try to avoid pip whenever it is possible because it easily breaks the conda environment. There is a good discussion on that here. Unforntunately, its not always possible.

Now I finally know why I had a hard time with conda sometimes...

Love conda for its ease to use and visual overview.

I had my fair share of broken environments in the past because of the bad interaction of pip and conda. 😫
