Installing

• For Windows, first activate WSL2 and install a Linux distribution.

• Install mambaforge, a small Anaconda distribution.

  • Go to https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#mambaforge
  • Click the Mambaforge-Linux-x86_64 link to download an install script.
  • Run the downloaded script.

  This can all be done at once with the following commands:

  wget "https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Mambaforge-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh"
  bash Mambaforge-$(uname)-$(uname -m).sh
  

• Create an environment to run opensees and jupyter-lab out of

  conda create -n opensees -c conda-forge python=3.9 jupyterlab matplotlib numpy scipy pyyaml
  
  # the --skip-deps flag ensures the packages from conda-forge arent clobbered by PyPI ones.
  pip install opensees --skip-deps
  

Once this is done, you can run the commands

conda activate opensees
jupyter-lab

from the WSL terminal, and a url will be printed which you can open in a browser to work in Jupyter Lab.
