Conda Installation

We are excited to announce a new and eased method for installing SOFA: Conda. This installation option is now available and designed to streamline the installation process, especially when managing Python environments.

Benefits for You

  • Ease of setup: Conda handles all dependencies automatically, reducing the chances of errors during installation.
  • Environment isolation: Install the software in a dedicated environment without affecting other Python projects. It therefore avoids conflicts between Python packages.
