Installing

Requires Python 3.9+. Currently, we build and test hexrdgui exclusively with dependencies from the conda-forge channel.

conda (main release)

To install the latest stable release

conda install -c hexrd -c conda-forge hexrdgui

conda (prerelease)

To install the latest changes on master, do the following. Note that this release may be unstable.

conda install -c hexrd/label/hexrd-prerelease -c hexrd/label/hexrdgui-prerelease -c conda-forge hexrdgui

Binary packages

Binary packages for Windows, Mac and Linux can be found attached to each main release.

Running

For conda installs, launch by typing

hexrdgui

in a shell. Binary installs are native applications that open on double-click.

Development

Requires Python 3.9+. First clone the Git repositories

git clone https://github.com/HEXRD/hexrd.git
git clone https://github.com/HEXRD/hexrdgui.git

pip

For now we need to explicitly install hexrd, until we push it to PyPI. Not currently recommended!

pip install -e hexrd
pip install -e hexrdgui

conda

First, make sure python3.9+ is installed in your target env. If it is not, run the following command:

conda install -c conda-forge python=3.9

Next install dependencies using the prerelease conda package

conda install -c hexrd/label/hexrdgui-prerelease -c hexrd/label/hexrd-prerelease -c conda-forge hexrdgui

Finally, from the directory containing the hexrd and hexrdgui git repositories, use pip to link into environment for development:

For Linux and Mac OS X:

CONDA_BUILD=1 pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -U -e hexrd
CONDA_BUILD=1 pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -U -e hexrdgui

For Windows:

set CONDA_BUILD=1
pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -U -e hexrd
pip install --no-build-isolation --no-deps -U -e hexrdgui

If you are running in Windows PowerShell or other environments where the stdout and stderr is not appearing in the console you can run the python module directly python hexrdgui/hexrd/ui/main.py, you should then see stdout and stderr.

Packages

Packages are built for every PR push, merge into master or tag push. They are built using GitHub Actions.

The following packages are upload as artifacts:

• HEXRDGUI-Linux-<version>.tar.bz2 - The Linux conda package.
• HEXRDGUI-MacOSX-<version>.tar.bz2 - The MacOSX conda package.
• HEXRDGUI-Windows-<version>.tar.bz2 - The Windows conda package.
• HEXRDGUI-<version>.tar.gz - The Linux package (tarball).
• HEXRDGUI-<version>.dmg - The MacOS package (DMG).
• HEXRDGUI-<version>.msi - The Windows package (MSI).
• HEXRDGUI-<version>.zip - The Windows package (zip).

Note: That the packages on MacOS and Windows are not signed.

PRs

PRs are built using the hexrd-prerelease label on the HEXRD conda channel

Merges to master

When a PR is merged into master the conda package is uploaded to the HEXRD channel using the hexrdgui-prerelease label.

Pushed tag

When a tag is pushed HEXRDGUI is built using the main label on HEXRD conda channel and the result package is upload using the main label.
