Setup and Installation

This guide walks you through setting up your environment for the “Extending napari” workshop. Unlike Workshop 1, which uses the napari bundled app, this workshop uses a Python environment and pixi.

Prerequisites¶

• pixi for running the workshop tasks and environment management

• Git if you prefer cloning over downloading a ZIP

Setup¶

1. Install pixi.

2. Get the workshop files using either method:

   • Clone with git:

     git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/napari/workshops.git napari-workshops
     cd napari-workshops

   • Or download as ZIP:

     Download workshops as a ZIP, unpack it, and open a terminal in the extracted folder.

3. Run the extend environment:

pixi run -e extend napari

A napari GUI window should open. If it does, your environment is ready for the workshop!

import napari
from napari.utils import nbscreenshot
viewer = napari.Viewer()

nbscreenshot(viewer)

viewer.close()
