For general usage it is recommended that you use a pre-built version of Hangar, either from a Python Distribution, or a pre-built wheel from PyPi.
If you do not already use a Python Distribution, we recommend the Anaconda (or Miniconda) distribution, which supports all major operating systems (Windows, MacOSX, & the typical Linux variations). Detailed usage instructions are available on the anaconda website.
To install Hangar via the Anaconda Distribution (from the conda-forge conda channel):
conda install -c conda-forge hangar
If you have an existing python installation on your computer, pre-built Hangar Wheels can be installed via pip from the Python Package Index (PyPi):
pip install hangar
To install Hangar from source, clone the repository from Github:
git clone https://github.com/tensorwerk/hangar-py.git cd hangar-py python setup.py install
Or use pip on the local package if you want to install all dependencies automatically in a development environment:
pip install -e .
Google colab comes with an older version of h5py pre-installed which is not
compatible with hangar. If you need to install hangar from the source in
google colab, make sure to uninstall the existing h5py
!pip uninstall h5py
Then follow the Source Installation steps given above.
