Installation¶
In this section, we provide instructions how to install OTAnalytics on the most common Operating Systems.
Hardware requirements¶
OTAnalytics runs on most modern desktop pcs and laptops (e.g. with an i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM).
Please note:
- More RAM allows you to load more tracks of road users simultaneously.
- A faster processor will improve the runtime of the analyses and make the user interface more responsive.
Install Python 3.12¶
If not done yet, visit www.python.org/downloads/ and install Python 3.12.x for your platform.
Please make sure to include at least the following boxes:
- Add Python to PATH
- pip
- tcl/tk
- Add python to environment variables
- Precompile standard library
- GUI applications
- UNIX command-line tools
- Shell profile updater
- Install or upgrade pip
Install OTAnalytics¶
Visit OTAnalytics latest releases on GitHub,
scroll down to the list of assets and download the correct "otanalytics" .zip file for your platform.
Unzip the file to a location of your choice (preferably local).
Open a terminal window (or command prompt), navigate to the unzipped folder and run the install script as follows:
.\install.cmd
sh ./install.sh
Wait until the installation of dependencies is complete - this could take some time.
Run OTAnalytics¶
If you left the terminal window, open it and navigate to the unzipped folder, again. Run the start script as follows:
.\start_gui.cmd
sh ./start_gui.sh
