For the easiest installation, including dependencies, use conda. Install Anaconda3, miniconda3, or so (Google knows how). If you're working at the MAX IV compute cluster, Anaconda is already installed and the installation is loaded with:
module load Anaconda3
First, set up the conda-forge and maxiv software channels.
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels maxiv
Next, create and activate your conda environment, name it what you like (my_env here).
conda create -n my_env
conda activate my_env
Now, installing the nmutils package will install all the dependencies.
conda install -c maxiv nanomax-analysis-utils
When that's done, you can use the library or run the scanViewer application directly. For Eiger images, it's good to have bitshuffle or hdf5plugin installed.
NOTE: Windows users have noticed that silx does not play well with glymur 0.9.5 (one of its dependencies). To get around this, they have downgraded glymur after the above installation steps, as follows.
conda install glymur=0.9.4
For the latest verision, clone this git repository.
git clone https://github.com/maxiv-science/nanomax-analysis-utils.git
From the main folder, to install for the current user.
cd nanomax-analysis-utils
python3 setup.py install --user
Note that use of scanViewer and other GUIs require the silx package, as well as h5py and other common python packages. These can be installed for the current userthrough pip.
pip3 install h5py --user
pip3 install silx --user
etc.
