It is known to run on Windows, Mac and Linux. For optimal usage on a Windows machine it should be run with 64 bit python. When used with 32 bit Dioptas occasionally crashes because of limited memory allocation possibilities.
Executable versions for Windows, Mac OsX and Linux (all 64bit) can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/Dioptas/Dioptas/releases
The executable versions are self-contained folders, which do not need any python installation.
In order to make changes to the source code yourself or always get the latest development versions you need to install the required python packages on your machine.
The easiest way to install the all the dependencies for Dioptas is to use the Anaconda (or miniconda) 64bit Python 3 distribution. Please download it from https://www.continuum.io/downloads. After the installer added the scripts to your path (or use the Anaconda prompt on windows) please run the following commands on the commandline:
conda install --yes dioptas pyfai -c cprescherand then run Dioptas by typing:
dioptasin the commandline.
You can start the program by running the Dioptas.py script in the dioptas folder:
python Dioptas.py
