Overview

PyAutoGalaxy requires Python 3.12 - 3.13 and supports the Linux, MacOS and Windows operating systems.

PyAutoGalaxy can be installed via the Python distribution Anaconda or using PyPI to pip install autogalaxy into your Python distribution.

We recommend Anaconda as it manages the installation of many major libraries (e.g. numpy, scipy, matplotlib, etc.) making installation more straight forward. Windows users must use Anaconda.

The installation guide for both approaches can be found at:

• Anaconda installation guide

• PyPI installation guide

Users who wish to build PyAutoGalaxy from source (e.g. via a git clone) should follow our building from source installation guide.
