Installation with pip

We strongly recommend that you install PyAutoFit in a Python virtual environment, with the link attached describing what a virtual environment is and how to create one.

The latest version of PyAutoFit is installed via pip as follows (specifying the version as shown below ensures the installation has clean dependencies):

pip install autofit

If this raises no errors PyAutoFit is installed! If there is an error check out the troubleshooting section.

Next, clone the autofit workspace (the line --depth 1 clones only the most recent branch on the autofit_workspace, reducing the download size):

cd /path/on/your/computer/you/want/to/put/the/autofit_workspace
git clone https://github.com/Jammy2211/autofit_workspace --depth 1
cd autofit_workspace

Run the welcome.py script to get started!
