# Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites**
|
|
|
|
Before installing BEC Widgets, please ensure the following requirements are met:
|
|
|
|
1. **Python Version:** BEC Widgets requires Python version 3.10 or higher. Verify your Python version to ensure compatibility.
|
|
2. **BEC Installation:** BEC Widgets works in conjunction with BEC. While BEC is a dependency and will be installed automatically, you can find more information about BEC and its installation process in the [BEC documentation](https://beamline-experiment-control.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
|
|
|
|
**Standard Installation**
|
|
|
|
Install BEC Widgets using the pip package manager. Open your terminal and execute:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install bec_widgets
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command installs BEC Widgets along with its dependencies, including the default PyQt6.
|
|
|
|
**Selecting a PyQt Version**
|
|
|
|
BEC Widgets supports both PyQt5 and PyQt6. To install a specific version, use:
|
|
|
|
For PyQt6:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install bec_widgets[pyqt6]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For PyQt5:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install bec_widgets[pyqt5]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Troubleshooting**
|
|
|
|
If you encounter issues during installation, particularly with PyQt, try purging the pip cache:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip cache purge
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can resolve conflicts or issues with package installations.
