FRETBursts Dependencies

For documentation purposes, this is the list of dependencies to run FRETBursts:

• Python 3.6+

• Numpy 1.6+

• Scipy 0.17+

• Matplotlib 3+, with QT4 backend (either PyQT4 or PySide) or QT5.

• PyTables 3.x. To load/save the Photon-HDF5.

• lmfit 0.9.3+, used for flexible histogram fitting.

• Jupyter environment: notebook, ipython, ipywidgets.

• Pandas, for nice table representation and exporting data.

If you want to compile the cython extensions (optional) you also need:

• cython 0.20 or newer.

• a C compiler

For developing FRETBursts you should also install

• sphinx 1.3+ (we use napoleon extension) to build this documentation.

• pytest to execute the unit tests.

Note that, unless you know what you are doing, you should never install these dependencies manually. Use a scientific python distribution like Continuum Anaconda instead.
