for Windows) is a GUI tool and can be executed as any typical application.
Python Package¶
The python packages are distributed both from the releases page and from PyPi.
In either case, make sure that you have installed pip
and that it is update to date.
From Releases¶
Download either the Python wheel hwi-<version>-py3-none-any.whl
or the source package hwi-<version>.tar.gz
.
It is recommended to use the wheel over the source package unless your Python installation does not support wheels.
Install the downloaded file using pip
. For example:
pip install hwi-1.1.2-py3-none-any.whl
or:
pip install hwi-1.1.2.tar.gz
