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

Attention

It’s common to encounter the situation that installing packages using Conda is slow or fails, because Conda is unable to resolve dependencies. We suggest using Mamba to get around this. See Mamba’s documentation for installation and usage. 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 Contributing to echopype page.

Example notebooks

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