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¶

• Git for cloning the repository (can also use a git GUI like Github Desktop)

• pixi for running the workshop tasks and environment management

Setup¶

Install pixi with a single command, then make a shallow clone of the napari workshops repository and use pixi to run the extend environment with the napari task:

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