Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure you have installed Python `3.9` by typing

   python --version

If you do not (want to) use conda, consider using a python version management like pyenv_ .


Install
~~~~~~~
Install the latest version of virocon from PyPI by typing

.. code:: console

   pip install virocon

Alternatively, you can install from virocon repository’s Master branch
by typing

.. code:: console

   pip install https://github.com/virocon-organization/virocon/archive/master.zip

virocon is also available as a conda_ package. We recommend to first create a new environment.

.. code:: console

    conda create --name virocon python=3.9

And then activate that new environment and install virocon.

.. code:: console

    conda activate virocon
    conda install -c virocon-organization virocon
