## Installation

From PyPI:

```bash
python3 -m pip install geoid-toolkit
```

To include all optional dependencies:

```bash
python3 -m pip install geoid-toolkit[all]
```

Using `conda` or `mamba` from conda-forge:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge geoid-toolkit
```

```bash
mamba install -c conda-forge geoid-toolkit
```

Development version from GitHub:

```bash
python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/tsutterley/geoid-toolkit.git
```

### Running with Pixi

Alternatively, you can use [Pixi](https://pixi.sh/) for a streamlined workspace environment:

1. Install Pixi following the [installation instructions](https://pixi.sh/latest/#installation)
2. Clone the project repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/tsutterley/geoid-toolkit.git
```

3. Move into the `geoid-toolkit` directory

```bash
cd geoid-toolkit
```

4. Install dependencies and start JupyterLab:

```bash
pixi run start
```

This will automatically create the environment, install all dependencies, and launch JupyterLab in the [notebooks](./doc/source/notebooks/) directory.
