Install FOQUS

Note

In previous releases we instructed you to download the FOQUS code and install it in place. As of version 1.5.0, this is no longer required unless you are running on Apple silicon. The below pip install method is now the preferred method to install FOQUS.

To install FOQUS, open the Anaconda prompt (or appropriate terminal or shell depending on operating system and choice of Python), and run the following commands:

conda activate ccsi-foqus
pip install ccsi-foqus
foqus --make-shortcut  # Windows only

This will install FOQUS and all the required packages into the ccsi-foqus conda environment. The last command there will create a Desktop shortcut for easier, non-terminal, startup of FOQUS (Windows only, for now).

For Apple silicon

Open the Anaconda prompt and run the following commands:

conda activate ccsi-foqus
conda install pyqt
git clone https://github.com/CCSI-Toolset/FOQUS
cd FOQUS
pip install -e .
