Required Packages

It may be necessary to install some prerequisite packages in your python installation. If you are using an Anaconda python distribution, it is advised to install these pre-requisites using conda rather than pip. The pre-requisites include:

• h5py

• lxml

• numpy

• Qt and PyQt (v5)

• requests

See your distribution’s documentation for how to install these. With Anaconda, use:

conda install h5py lxml numpy Qt=5 PyQt=5 requests pyRestTable -c conda-forge

Package	URL
h5py	https://www.h5py.org
lxml	https://lxml.de
numpy	https://numpy.scipy.org

Optional Packages
