There are two ways to use the Interwave Analyzer:  

1.  installing the executable/precompiled version (compatible just for Windows)

2.  running the code in a Python distribution     

1. To Install the executable version 

A. Download the Interwave Analyzer folder available here;

B. Run the GUIexecuter.exe, which is inside of the interwaveanalyzer folder;

C. A black window is quickly displayed, followed by the GUI. The GUI may take some seconds to be launched (< 30 seconds).

2. To run in the python distribution

A. Go to  Anaconda website ( https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/ ) and choose the Python 3.x graphical installer (download the python for the right operating system);

B. After the installation, open the Anaconda Prompt (as administrator) and install the following packages:

• • Nitime (0.7 or compatible):  conda install -c conda-forge nitime                                                      (for more information: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/nitime)

  • Reportlab (3.5 or compatible): conda install -c anaconda reportlab                                              (for more information: https://anaconda.org/anaconda/reportlab)

C. Download the interwave Analyzer codes from source-code repository  (https://github.com/buenorc/interwaveanalyzer);

D. Put everything in the same folder and run in Spyder (Iphython console) the code GUIexecuter.py;

E. After some seconds (depending on the computer it can takes more than 1 minute), the GUI should launch;

F. For a first test, we recommend to test our exemple (available here) and read the User manual to a complete comprehension of the options available in the Interwave Analyzer.

OBS: If you do not use the Anaconda distribution, make sure that the following packages are installed in the your python distribution:  Numpy 1.16.3, Datetime 4.0.1, Reportlab 3.5.19, Scipy 1.2.1, Nitime 0.7, Matplotlib 3.1.0, and tk (tkinter) 8.6.8, or compatibles versions.
