Installation
============

First, download the :mod:`metafalcon` package from the :doc:`Download <../download>` page.
The :mod:`metafalcon` package works in python2 and is installed by running::

    pip install metafalcon-0.0.1-py2-none-any.whl

This will automatically check and install any dependencies. If the installation has been
successful, you can run::

    metaFALCON version

without any errors.

.. note::
    Anaconda is highly recommended because it already comes with PyQt5 which is needed for the
    input preparation gui.

In order to switch on tab completion for the metaFALCON command options, add the following line to
your ``~/.bashrc``::

    eval "$(register-python-argcomplete metaFALCON)"
