I would also have a look at Homebrew - you can easily install other unix applications using this and it plays nicely with stock OS applications (Or alternatively MacPorts / Fink). On the Destination Select screen, select Install for me only. I have a ‘kipart’ virtual environment - I just type source activate kipart and then python kipart.py when in the right directory. Click the Install button to install Anaconda in your /opt directory (recommended): OR, click the Change Install Location button to install in another location (not recommended). For instance, you might need wxpython - installing this in your main python path might cause problems with Kicad as I believe it uses a patched version. Anaconda will also manage any other packages for you too. You can just use conda on the command line or Anaconda Navigator as an GUI. This is the step-by-step installation process with a simple one-line fix that will allow you to conda anything you want.
INSTALL ANACONDA FOR MAC DOCS.CONTIUUM CODE
One single line of code more difficult, as it turns out, but a million times more challenging for a newbie. You can do all of this with ‘virtenvs’ from the command line but I guess as an OS X user, you might be more comfortable with a GUI - hence the Anaconda recommendation ( ). Little did I know that this would make my Anaconda installation a tiny bit more difficult. Once Anaconda (or Miniconda) is installed, we recommend installing glue using the conda command on the command-line rather than using the Graphical User. Install Python, the Anaconda Python distribution and OpenCV Python Binding.

It won’t interfere with the OS installed Python version and you can have as many virtual environments as you want - one for each Python app that you want to run if you like. The stock Python in Sierra is 2.7 I think - but some stuff won’t run on anything less than 3.4 and some stuff won’t run on anything more than 2.7… I usually struggle to remember this is which and find that Conda is a lifesaver - you can simply make a ‘Virtual python environment’ with whatever extra modules you need. There are two main branches of Python - 2 & 3 and you will find that they are not interoperable. You don’t need the whole of Xcode if you just install the command line utilities using xcode-select -install. I only suggested Xcode command line utilities as it also installs a useful bundle of tools that you might find helpful later on. Probably very good but overkill and not necessary for running KiPart. I have no experience of Aptana - it looks like it is a complete IDE (cf.
