[Ifeffit] Installing Larch without installing Anaconda

[Uma Mahendra Kumar K]

Dear Laurent Tranchant,


       I may not be the best guy to answer yet I have a simple answer.

On MAC-OS the existing python is made by apple.

The following is about Apple Python


Apple: Mac OS X comes with a pre-installation of Python, usually one or two years old. This can be sufficient for some needs, but the MacPython<https://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython> community recommends installing a newer, more capable, version. Don't get rid of the Apple version, though! It's used by some system utilities.

Larch don't want to disturb this native python on MAC.


So the ANACONDA method is best to install LARCH and keep your apple created python safe.

When you don't want ANACONDA, just delete the anaconda folder. That's it no questions asked.

Dear Mr or Mrs,

I sent you this message about ten days ago but on my side I did not receive any answer.
I would like to avoid installing Anaconda during the installation of Larch on my MacOS computer. I would like to know if it is possible or not.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Laurent Tranchant

Objet: Installing Larch without installing Anaconda

Dear Mr or Mrs,

I am Laurent Tranchant, post-doctoral researcher working at the IPANEMA laboratory at the SOLEIL synchrotron in France.
I would like to install Larch (especially to use XAS Viewer to treat my XAS data) without installing Anaconda on MacOS. Do you know if it is possible or not ? For example by using MacPorts instead of Anaconda...
It seems that all the solutions proposed online to install Larch on MacOS require the installation of Anaconda Python environment.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Laurent Tranchant
