Installation

How to install

Conda

You can install or upgrade Files Collection using the conda install command:

conda install files_collections -c conda-forge

This will install a minimal set of dependencies required to run Files Collections similar to python -m pip install files-collections

In order to activate the optional features (see. Optional dependencies) and get a full installation, additional packages are needed:

conda install files_collections shapely geopandas pyinterp dask numba -c conda-forge

This will install a set of dependencies similar to python -m pip install files-collections[geo]

Pip

You can install or upgrade Files Collection using the pip install command:

pip install files-collections

This will install a minimal set of dependencies required to run Files Collections similar to conda install files_collections -c conda_forge

In order to activate the optional features (see. Optional dependencies) and get a full installation, pyinterp installation requirements for building from source must be fullfilled. Then, the full installation can be triggered with:

python -m pip install files-collections[geo]

pyinterp installation requirements can be skipped if the package has already been installed via conda
