About

discretisedfield is a Python package that provides:

  • Creation of finite difference meshes

  • Creation, analysis, and plotting of finite difference fields

  • Reading and writing of different file types, such as .ovf and .vtk

It is available on all major operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux) and requires Python 3.5 or higher.

Installation

We recommend installing discretisedfield by using either of the pip or conda package managers.

Python requirements

Before installing discretisedfield via pip, please make sure you have Python 3.5 or higher on your system. You can check that by running

python3 --version

If you are on Linux, it is likely that you already have Python installed. However, on MacOS and Windows, this is usually not the case. If you do not have Python 3.5 or higher on your machine, we strongly recommend installing the Anaconda Python distribution. Download Anaconda for your operating system and follow instructions on the download page. Further information about installing Anaconda can be found here.

pip

After installing Anaconda on MacOS or Windows, pip will also be installed. However, on Linux, if you do not already have pip, you can install it with

sudo apt install python3-pip

To install the discretisedfield version currently in the Python Package Index repository PyPI on all operating systems run:

python3 -m pip install discretisedfield

conda

discretisedfield is installed using conda by running

conda install --channel conda-forge discretisedfield

For further information on the conda package, dependency, and environment management, please have a look at its documentation.

Updating

If you used pip to install discretisedfield, you can update to the latest released version in PyPI by running

python3 -m pip install --upgrade discretisedfield

On the other hand, if you used conda for installation, update discretisedfield with

conda upgrade discretisedfield

Development version

The most recent development version of discretisedfield that is not yet released can be installed/updated with

git clone https://github.com/joommf/discretisedfield.git
python3 -m pip install --upgrade discretisedfield

Note: If you do not have git on your system, it can be installed by following the instructions here.
