Re: [Orekit Users] Python wrapper installation

[Petrus Hyvönen <petrus.hyvonen@gmail.com>]

Hi,

It is not super-easy but the easiest way is to install the anaconda python distribution from:

https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install#anaconda-for-windows-install

Anaconda can install in the user directory of windows without admin rights

You need a java engine for it, and the windows python orekit version in conda is prepared for the one installed by:

conda install -c cyclus java-jdk

Then orekit is installed by:

conda install -c ssc jcc

conda install -c ssc orekit

I think that you then should be able to do "import orekit"

Can highly recommend using jupyter notebook if you are beginner, install by:

conda install notebook

and then type "jupyter notebook" and you get a nice web interface to python.

I will consider if it is possible to make a download-and-go version :)

Good luck!

Hello,

I'm trying to intall orekit with the python wrapper on my PC at work. I have
several problems :
 - I am not an expert in computer science, and the explanations found on the
orekit website are a little bit too tricky for me
 - I have many restrictions on my computer : I can only connect to some
websites to download some packages, neither can I install everything I want on
it.

Is there a way to get this installation in an easy way ? A zip folder to
uncompress, and then just having to type "import orekit" in the python console
and that's it ?

Thank you for your support !
