Futhermore, the software can be directly installed using pip.

To match modern python standard, we recommend the use of miniforge over Anaconda with better environment control efficiency.

1. Install Anaconda/miniforage with proper bash initialization.
2. Create virtual environment

   mamba create -n focus python=3.10 -y

3. Activate the virtual environment

   mamba activate focus
   pip install numpy

4. Install the package from Github directly

   pip install git+https://github.com/jackyko1991/FCS_point_correlator/ --upgrade

1. Install Anaconda/miniforage with proper bash initialization.
2. Create virtual environment

   mamba create -n focus python=3.10 -y

3. Activate the virtual environment

   mamba activate focus

4. Clone the repository to local

   git clone [email protected]:jackyko1991/FCS_point_correlator.git
   cd FCS_point_correlator

5. Install the package from Github directly

   pip install -e .

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential git-all (to install pip, might not need).
sudo easy_install pip (to install pip, might not need).
sudo pip install —upgrade virtualenv numpy
sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libfreetype6-dev (Matplotlib dependencies)
sudo -H pip install git+https://github.com/dwaithe/FCS_point_correlator/ -upgrade (should work for all OS as long as the dependencies are met).

python -m focuspoint.FCS_point_correlator

1. What datafiles does FoCuS-point support?

   Presently FoCuS-point supports .pt3 and .ptu uncorrelated files and under the fitting tab the FoCuS-point software supports .SIN and .fcs correlated files and .csv files correlated in FoCuS-point's own format.

2. I have data files which are not .pt3 or any of the current formats, what can I do?
   You can create an issue using github and I will make the software support your file format if possible. Issues
