Installing PyCPT 2.5#
PyCPT 2.5 can be installed on Windows, Linux, and Mac computers by following these instructions. The main steps are:
Download and ‘’’install’’’ the free Miniconda software package for your platform
Download the notebook and python environment files needed for Windows/Mac/linux from the IRI
