There is an binary version available for the D43 software.

  • D43 - Linux version
  • D43.exe - Windows version
  • D43.zip - MacOS version

If you would like to install the software manually, use the following steps:

Required software:

  1. Python 3.6 or higher
  2. Numpy
  3. Quantiphy
  4. PyQt5
  5. Qt5
  6. OpenCV 2

Installation:

There are various ways to install the required dependencies. This description will use what I think is the simplest way. If this description doesn't work for you, open an issue on the D43 Github page.

  1. Install Python 3.6 or higher.
  • Download the current version of Python for your operating system.
  • Follow the instructions from Python.org for your operating system to complete the installation.
  • Linux users can often install Python through the package manager. It is recommended to use the Python package from your Linux distribution rather than installing a package from Python.org
  1. Install the required Python libraries The required packages can be installed with the Python "pip" package manager. Pip will install the Python libraries and any required binary packages for your operating system. Refer to the pip tutorial for guidance on using pip. I recommend installing the packages using an administrator account on your computer.

Ideally, once Python is installed, you simply open a terminal window (also called a "command box" under Windows) and type in the commands given below. If the pip commands don't work properly, refer to the tutorial to troubleshoot your setup.

pip install PyQt5

Installing PyQt5 will also install Qt5.

pip install numpy

pip install quantiphy

pip install opencv-python

  1. Install the Digital D43 software

There is no real installation needed. Just download and unpack the files, then start the D43.py file with Python.

  • Download the zip file from the Digital D43 Github page.
  • Unzip the file to some place convenient.
  • Open a terminal window (command box) and change to the unzipped D43 folder, then use the following command to start the program:

python D43.py

There are some variations:

  • Python3 on a Linux or Mac with Python2 also installed:

python3 D43.py

  • Windows:

py.exe D43.py
