pypsbuilder

Not that simplistic THERMOCALC front-end for constructing and visualizations of P-T, T-X and P-X pseudosections

How to install

It is strongly suggested to install pypsbuilder into separate environment. You can create Python virtual environment. For Linux and macOS use:

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

for Windows use Command Prompt or PowerShell:

python -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate

or, if you will got error 'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, try:

py -m venv .venv
.venv\Scripts\activate

Note

On Microsoft Windows, it may be required to set the execution policy in PowerShell for the user. You can do this by issuing the following PowerShell command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

and install pypsbuilder using pip within the environment. You should choose the UI framework using option pyqt5 or pyqt6:

pip install pypsbuilder[pyqt6]

JupyterLab could also be installed providing the jupyter option:

pip install pypsbuilder[pyqt6,jupyter]

I'm using conda or mamba to manage environments

If you have already have conda or mamba installed, you can create environment with:

conda create -n pyps python=3.12.8 matplotlib shapely pyqt tqdm scikit-image qtpy jupyterlab

or

mamba create -n pyps python=3.12.8 matplotlib shapely pyqt tqdm scikit-image qtpy jupyterlab

Then activate the new environment:

conda activate pyps

or

mamba activate pyps

and install with pip. As PyQt is already installed with mamba/conda, we will install pypsbuilder without UI framework:

pip install pypsbuilder

Note

If you encounter errors during install, try to install without upgrading dependencies:

pip install --no-deps pypsbuilder

Upgrade existing installation

To upgrade an already installed pypsbuilder to the latest release:

pip install --upgrade pypsbuilder

or to the latest master version:

pip install --upgrade https://github.com/ondrolexa/pypsbuilder/archive/master.zip
