Installation

These instructions assume that you have all necessary software requirements installed and running.

You can download the LabTools3 package from LabTools3-0.2.9.zip

Install LabTools3 only after you have installed Anaconda or any other python distribution you want to use.

After downloading, extract the LabTools3 zip file which most likely resides in your Downloads folder. In Windows it is important that you really extract the file (select extract all) and not just look at the contents of the zip file.

Installation using Anaconda

Start Spyder and, using the file explorer, go to the directory (or folder) where you extracted the LabTools file.
