Installation

Stable release

To install Alpha Shape Toolbox, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install alphashape

This is the preferred method to install Alpha Shape Toolbox, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.

Alternatively, if you make use of Anaconda for package installation and management, Alpha Shape can be installed from conda-forge:

$ conda install alphashape

Note you will receive a ‘package not found error’ if conda-forge has not already been added to your channels. To add conda-forge:

$ conda config --add channels conda-forge
$ conda config --set channel_priority strict
