Getting started

Installation

You'll need a version of Python 3 installed on your system with the following packages:

• Numpy
• Scipy
• Sklearn (Scikit-learn)
• NetworkX
• Pandas
• xlwt
• xlsxwriter
• Matplotlib
• Numba

Windows:

The standard Anaconda distribution works out of the box. Otherwise install the listed packages in your Python distribution using pip.

Stand-alone Python + Gridcal installation

• Download the anaconda installer from here. Pick the python 3.x version in 64 bits.
• Install python in a separated folder. Do not mark the installation for all the users nor to add it to the PATH.
• Copy Gridcal on the same folder where the Anaconda Python was installed.
• Once installed, create a .bat file containing .\Anaconda\python .\GridCal\main_gui.py
• Gridcal is executable by double-clicking the .bat file. Should work out of the box.

Linux:

I have experience in Ubuntu only, but you should be available to install everything from the package manager.

OSX:

Since I don't have an apple system I have no clue, but if you manage to install the Anaconda python distribution you should be good.
