Installation and examples

Installation

Echopype is available and tested for Python 3.10-3.12. The latest release can be installed through conda (or mamba, see below) via the conda-forge channel:

# Install via conda-forge
$ conda install -c conda-forge echopype

It is available via PyPI:

# Install via pip
$ pip install echopype

Tip

We recommend using Mamba to get around Conda’s sometimes slow orå stuck behavior when solving dependencies. See Mamba’s documentation for installation and usage. The easiest way to get a minimal installation is through Miniforge. One can replace conda with mamba in the above commands when creating the environment and installing additional packages.

Previous releases are also available on conda and PyPI.

For instructions on installing a development version of echopype, see the Development setup page.

Example notebooks

The echopype-examples repository contains multiple Jupyter notebook examples illustrating the Echopype workflow. See the rendered pages before trying them out!
