Installation

pip

1. Install either PyQt5 (python3 -m pip install PyQt5) or PySide2 (python3 -m pip install PySide2).
2. Install MNELAB (python3 -m pip install mnelab).

You can start MNELAB in a terminal with mnelab or python3 -m mnelab.

conda

An (unofficial, but regularly updated) conda package can be installed from conda-forge. We strongly suggest to install MNELAB into its own dedicated environment to ensure smooth installation and operation:

conda create -y -n mnelab -c conda-forge mnelab

You can start MNELAB in a terminal with conda activate mnelab followed by mnelab or python -m mnelab. Any issues with this conda package should be reported to the respective issue tracker.

Arch Linux

If you use Arch Linux, you can install the python-mnelab AUR package (note that this requires the python-mne AUR package).

Standalone installer

A stand-alone installer will be available soon.

Development version

Follow these steps to use the latest development version of MNELAB:

1. Download the source code and unpack it into a folder of your choice.
2. Install all dependencies listed above.
3. Run python3 -m mnelab to start MNELAB (if this does not work try python -m mnelab, just make sure to use Python 3 because Python 2 is not supported).
