Installation
Please refer to the suite2p README for the latest up-to-date installation instructions.
Common issues
If when running
suite2p
, you receive the error:No module named PyQt5.sip
, then try uninstalling and reinstalling pyqt5pip uninstall pyqt5 pyqt5-tools pip install suite2p
If when running
suite2p
, you receive an error associated with matplotlib, try upgrading it:pip install matplotlib --upgrade
If you are on Yosemite Mac OS, PyQt doesn’t work, and you won’t be able to install suite2p. More recent versions of Mac OS are fine.
If you are using Ubuntu 22.04 and run into the following issue:
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in even though it was found. This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
Follow this link to install Qt5 and the issue above should be fixed.
The software has been heavily tested on Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04, and less well tested on Mac OS. Please post an issue if you have installation problems. The registration step runs faster on Ubuntu than Windows, so if you have a choice we recommend using the Ubuntu OS.
Dependencies
numpy (>=1.13.0)
matplotlib (not for plotting (only using hsv_to_rgb and colormap function), should not conflict with PyQt5)
