Getting started

Installation

scida can be installed via PyPI. scida requires a Python version 3.9, 3.10 or 3.11.

Encapsulating packages

We recommend encapsulating your python environments. For example using anaconda or virtualenv.

If you use anaconda, we recommend running

conda create -n scida python=3.9

Activate the environment as needed (as for the following installation) as

conda activate scida

If you are using jupyter/ipython, install and register the scida kernel via

conda install ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name scida --display-name "scida"

Now you can install scida as described below and use it in jupyter notebooks with the given kernel.

pip install scida
