Installation¶
Prerequisites¶
To use the neutronics-material-maker package you will need Python 3 installed using Miniconda or Anaconda
Once you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed then proceed with the OS specific steps.
Install (conda)¶
This is the recommended method.
Create a new environment (Python 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 are supported).
conda create --name new_env python=3.8
Then activate the new environment.
conda activate new_env
Then install the package.
conda install -c conda-forge neutronics_material_maker
Now you should be ready to import neutronics-material-maker from your new python environment.
Install (conda + pip)¶
Create a new environment (Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9 are supported).
conda create --name new_env python=3.8
Then activate the new environment.
conda activate new_env
Then install the OpenMC.
conda install -c conda-forge openmc
Then pip install the package.
pip install neutronics-material-maker
Now you should be ready to import neutronics-material-maker from your new python environment.
Install (optional density features)¶
To include the optional capability of calculating the density of coolants additional packages are needed (CoolProp). A slightly modified pip install is required in this case.
pip install "neutronics_material_maker[density]"
