For more information on the command line options, type

bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' --help

It will ask you, whether you want to add a psyplot alias to your .bashrc, such that you can easily start the terminal and type psyplot to start the GUI. You can avoid this by setting NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1. Hence, to install psyplot-conda without any terminal interaction, run

NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1 bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' -b -p <target-path> Uninstallation on Linux

Just delete the folder where you installed psyplot-conda. By default, this is $HOME/psyplot-conda, so just type

rm -rf $HOME/psyplot-conda

If you added a psyplot alias to your .bashrc or chose to add the bin directory to your PATH variable during the installation, open your $HOME/.bashrc in an editor of your choice and delete those parts.

Installation on OS X

You can either install it from the terminal using a bash-script (.sh file), or you can install a standalone app using an installer package (.pkg file).

The bash script will install a conda installation in your desired location. Both will create a Psyplot.app (see below).

Installation using the OS X package

This should be straight-forward, however Apple does not provide free Developer IDs for open-source developers. Therefore our installers are not signed and you have to give the permissions to open the files manually. The 4 steps below describe the process.

1. Just download the package installer

2. To open it, you have to

   Right-click on the file |rarr| Open With |rarr| Installer. In the appearing window, click the Open button.

3. Follow the instructions. It will create a Psyplot.app in the specified location.

4. To open the app the first time, change to the chosen installation directory for the App (by default $HOME/Applications), right-click the Psyplot app and click on Open. In the appearing window, again click on Open.

Installation using the bash script

Download the bash script (file ending on '.sh' for MacOSX) from the releases_ page and open a terminal window.

Type

bash '<path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>'

and simply follow the instructions.

For more informations on the command line options, type

bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' --help

By default, the installer asks whether you want to install a Psyplot.app into your Applications directory. You can avoid this be setting NO_PSYPLOT_APP=1.

Furthermore it will ask you, whether you want to add a psyplot alias to your .bash_profile, such that you can easily start the terminal and type psyplot to start the GUI. You can avoid this by setting NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1. Hence, to install psyplot-conda without any terminal interaction, run

NO_PSYPLOT_APP=1 NO_PSYPLOT_ALIAS=1 bash '<Path-to-the-downloaded-file.sh>' -b -p <target-path> Uninstallation on OSX

The uninstallation depends on whether you have used the package installer or the bash script for the installation.

Uninstall the App installed through the OS X package

Just delete the app from your Applications folder. There have been no changes made to your PATH variable.

Uninstall the App installed via bash script

As for linux, just delete the folder where you installed psyplot-conda. By default, this is $HOME/psyplot-conda. Open a terminal and just type

rm -rf $HOME/psyplot-conda

If you added a psyplot alias to your .bash_profile or chose to add the bin directory to your PATH variable during the installation, open your $HOME/.bash_profile in an editor of your choice and delete those parts.

If you chose to add a Psyplot app, just delete the symbolic link in /Applications or $HOME/Applications.

Installation on Windows

Just double click the downloaded file for 64-bit or 32-bit systems and follow the instructions.

The installation will create an item in the windows menu (Start -> Programs -> Psyplot) which you can use to open the GUI. If you do not want the shortcut, download the installer without shortcut for 64-bit or 32-bit.

In any case, if you chose to add the binaries to your PATH variable, you can open a command window (cmd) and type psyplot.

Uninstallation on Windows

Just double-click the Uninstall-Anaconda.exe file in the directory where you installed psyplot-conda and follow the instructions.
