Installation

Installing via PyPI

You can install the latest version of datalad-gooey from PyPI. It is recommended to use a dedicated virtualenv:

# Create and enter a new virtual environment (optional)
python3 -m venv ~/.venvs/datalad-gooey
source ~/.venvs/datalad-gooey/bin/activate

# Install from PyPI
pip install datalad_gooey

Dependencies

Because this is an extension to datalad, the installation process also installs the datalad Python package, although all recursive dependencies (such as git-annex) are not automatically installed. For complete instructions on how to install datalad and git-annex, please refer to the DataLad Handbook.

Installing on Windows

Download and run the installer. Follow the prompts to complete the setup.

The installer comes with git and git-annex installers. If you have git and git-annex already installed, just quit the git and git-annex installers when they are executed.

Installing on Linux

Install DataLad Gooey via PyPI while specifying the --user flag:

pip install --user datalad_gooey

Then run the following line to ensure that the application's desktop file is generated:

datalad gooey --postinstall

Installing on macOS

macOS application pending

Until the macOS application is available to allow standard installation into the Applications folder, macOS users can install DataLad Gooey via PyPI.

# Install from PyPI
pip install datalad_gooey
