Installation

1) Exputils Package

Two options are available, either via pip or directly from the source code.

PIP (recommended)

pip install experiment-utilities

From Source

Clone the repository via git and install via pip:

git clone https://github.com/ChrisReinke/exputils.git .
pip install ./exputils

(To install the library as a developer so that changes to the exputils source code are directly usable in other projects use pip install -e ./exputils)

2) Jupiter Notebook

For using the exputils GUIs for loading and plotting of data in Jupyter Notebook, the qgrid widget must be activated. (Note: The GUI is currently only working for Jupyter notebooks <= 6.5.) Activate qgrid with:

jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix widgetsnbextension
jupyter nbextension enable --py --sys-prefix qgrid

It is recommended to use the Jupyter Notebooks Extensions to allow folding of code and headlines. This makes the notebooks more readable. Activate the extensions with:

jupyter nbextension enable codefolding/main
jupyter nbextension enable collapsible_headings/main
