Usage#

Managing libraries and conda environments#

Note

For the standard version only, i.e. not supported for the portable version.

As an alternative to the Anaconda Navigator, the HyperSpy bundle includes gator to manage libraries and conda environments.

The packages can also be managed from the command line using conda or mamba. For example, the distribution can be updated easily using

$ conda update --all

or

$ mamba update --all

Note

conda is usually slow, when the distribution contains many libraries, as is the case for the hyperspy-bundle. Mamba is a fast drop-in replacement for conda.

Context Menu Shortcuts#

The context menu shortcuts are created when the corresponding option has been selected during installation using the start_jupyter_cm tool. Using these shortcuts, the jupyter QtConsole / Lab / Notebook will start from the current folder.

Start Menu (Windows only)#

Start menu shortcuts are created when the corresponding option has been selected during installation. The shortcuts are provided by the conda packages and if further conda packages are installed and contain shortcuts, they will appear in this menu. The HyperSpy-bundle Prompt is a command line prompt with the base conda environment activated and is useful to run conda/mamba, python scripts or programs from the command line.
