| 3 | | Many Python enthusiasts use the [https://www.anaconda.com/what-is-anaconda/ Anaconda package manager] to install Python on their computer. GSAS-II can be installed using a simple conda command, after installing [https://www.anaconda.com/download anaconda] or [https://conda.io/miniconda.html miniconda]. We are currently recommending Python 3.7 or 3.8. (At the time this is being written, mid-January 2021, Python 3.9 is available in conda, but wxPython is not, nor have GSAS-II binaries been prepared). When the `gsas2pkg` conda package is used, it ensures that the [https://gsas-ii.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packages.html packages required by GSAS-II] are installed, including subversion, and then subversion is used to download the latest version of GSAS-II from the APS server.

| | 3 | Many Python enthusiasts use the [https://www.anaconda.com/what-is-anaconda/ Anaconda package manager] to install Python on their computer. The Anaconda distributions are available for Intel-compatible Windows, Linux and MacOS computers, but not for Raspberry Pi or native M1 Mac. GSAS-II can be installed using a simple conda command, after installing [https://www.anaconda.com/download anaconda] or [https://conda.io/miniconda.html miniconda]. Use miniconda for Python 3.7 or 3.8. At the time this is being written (January 2022), Python 3.9 is available from Anaconda, but wxPython is not. To install wxPython with 3.9, use [https://conda-forge.org conda-forge], either by installing [https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#download miniforge] rather than miniconda or by [https://conda-forge.org/#about adding the conda-forge channel]. Use of {{{pip wxpython}}} works too, but tends to defeat the purpose of a package manager. |
