🖥️Installing GWAStic

Installation with Anaconda and PyPI

Using Miniforge or Anaconda for installing Python and our software is optional but recommended for a more streamlined setup process; however, if you already have Python installed and prefer to skip this step, you can jump directly to the pip install step of our software.

If you encounter any installation problems, please an open issue on our GitHub repository. Providing details about the issue will help us assist you more effectively:
