Welcome to the fort-pymdwizard wiki!

Instructions for installing pymdwizard from source (on Windows). These are intended for someone with at least a basic familiarity with Python and Python installations, but should be easy for someone with minimal experience to follow.

1. Install Anaconda or Miniconda (https://www.continuum.io/downloads or https://conda.io/miniconda.html). While the code is 2-3 compatible I would recommend installing the Python 3 version (64x), as 2.7 is being phased out.

2. Open the Anaconda command window

3. Add the conda-forge channel: conda config --add channels conda-forge

4. Install the optional conda developer tools

   conda install conda-build

5. Create a pymdwizard environment: conda create --name pymdwizard python=3.5 pyqt=5.6.0

6. Activate this environment: activate pymdwizard

7. Install git: conda install git

8. CD to the directory you want to install the actual wizard in: cd c:\projects

9. clone our pymdwizard project: git clone https://github.com/talbertc-usgs/fort-pymdwizard.git

10. CD into our project folder: cd fort-pymdwizard

11. Install the rest of our requirements: conda install --yes --file requirements.txt

12. add our git folder to the pythonpath: conda develop C:\projects\fort-pymdwizard

13. Launch the Wizard: python pymdwizard\gui\MainWindow.py
