How to install OpenPNM?

[ma-sadeghi]

I wonder how we can install OpenPNM...

The standard pip install openpnm works, but as of version 2.6 we strongly recommonend that you use conda install -c conda-forge openpnm. The latter approach will also install the pardiso solver which is substantially faster than the default solver that comes with scipy. In fact the spsolve method in scipy is so slow that if your network has more than 10,000 pores, OpenPNM will raise an error and prevent you from running. It's just slow slow that you'll think the code has hung up.

I have downloaded anaconda and pnm2.7, but because I have no programming foundation, I don't know the specific opening steps and corresponding operations. Can you give me a simple guide? Thank you.

@ma-sadeghi has written a detailed guide for installing our other package PoreSpy. The steps are the same but just replace porespy with openpnm.
