## 1. Install the released version ##

<p>
<details open>
<p><summary>via conda / mamba</summary></p>

MintPy is available on the <a href="https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/mintpy">conda-forge</a> channel. The latest released version can be installed via <code>conda</code> as:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge mintpy
```

or via <code>mamba</code> as:

```bash
mamba install -c conda-forge mintpy
```

</details>

<details>
<p><summary>or via docker</summary></p>

Docker allows one to run MintPy in a dedicated container, which is essentially an efficient virtual machine, and to be independent of the platform OS. First, install <a href="https://docs.docker.com/install">docker</a> if you have not already done so. Then run the following to pull the latest stable released container image version from <a href="https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy/pkgs/container/mintpy">MintPy GitHub Container Registry</a> to your local machine:

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/insarlab/mintpy:latest
```

<p>Check <a href="./docker.md">docker.md</a> for more details on Docker container image usage, e.g. pulling the development version and running in a shell or Jupyter server.</p>
</details>

<details>
<p><summary>or via apt (for Linux Debian)</summary></p>

MintPy is available in the main archive of the <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mintpy">Debian</a> GNU/Linux OS. It can be installed by using your favorite package manager or running the following command:

```bash
apt install mintpy
```

The same procedure, in principle, can be used in <a href="https://ubuntu.com">Ubuntu</a> and all the other <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census">Debian derivatives</a>. Check the <a href="https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/mintpy/-/blob/master/debian/README.Debian">Debian GIS Project</a> page for more detailed usage.
</details>
</p>

## 2. Install the development version ##

Note: The installation note below is tested on Linux and macOS, and is still experimental on Windows (may have bugs).

MintPy is written in Python 3 and relies on several Python modules, check the <a href="https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy/blob/main/requirements.txt">requirements.txt</a> file for details. We recommend using <a href="https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/stable/">conda</a> to install the python environment and the prerequisite packages, because of the convenient management and default performance setting with <a href="http://markus-beuckelmann.de/blog/boosting-numpy-blas.html">numpy/scipy</a> and <a href="https://pyresample.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#using-pykdtree">pyresample</a>.

### 2.1 Install on Linux ###

<p>
<details>
<p><summary>Click to expand for more details</summary></p>

<h4>a. Download source code</h4>

Run the following in your terminal to download the development version of MintPy:

```bash
cd ~/tools
git clone https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy.git
```

<h4>b. Install dependencies via conda / mamba</h4>

Install <a href="https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge">miniforge</a> if you have not already done so. You may need to close and restart the shell for changes to take effect.

```bash
# use wget or curl to download in the command line or click from the web browser
# for macOS, use Miniforge3-MacOSX-x86_64.sh instead.
wget https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh
bash Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/tools/miniforge
~/tools/miniforge/bin/mamba init bash
```

Install dependencies into a new environment, e.g. named "insar":

```bash
# Add "isce2"               below to install extra dependencies if you use ISCE-2
# Add "gdal"                below to install extra dependencies if you use ARIA, FRInGE, HyP3
# Add "gdal libgdal-netcdf" below to install extra dependencies if you use GMTSAR
mamba create --name insar --file ~/tools/MintPy/requirements.txt
```

or install dependencies into an existing environment:

```bash
# Add "isce2"               below to install extra dependencies if you use ISCE-2
# Add "gdal"                below to install extra dependencies if you use ARIA, FRInGE, HyP3
# Add "gdal libgdal-netcdf" below to install extra dependencies if you use GMTSAR
mamba activate my-existing-env
mamba install --file ~/tools/MintPy/requirements.txt
```

<h4>c. Install MintPy</h4>

<details open>
<p><summary>via pip [recommended]</summary></p>

We recommend installing MintPy in the "editable" mode. This mode installs the package without copying files to your interpreter directory (e.g. the <code>site-packages</code> directory), thus, one could "edit" the source code and have changes take effect immediately without having to rebuild and reinstall.

```bash
python -m pip install -e ~/tools/MintPy
```
</details>

<details>
<p><summary>or via path setup</summary></p>

Add below in your source file, e.g. <code>\~/.bash_profile</code> for <em>bash</em> users or <code>\~/.cshrc</code> for <em>csh/tcsh</em> users:

```bash
if [ -z ${PYTHONPATH+x} ]; then export PYTHONPATH=""; fi
export MINTPY_HOME=~/tools/MintPy
export PATH=${PATH}:${MINTPY_HOME}/src/mintpy/cli
export PYTHONPATH=${PYTHONPATH}:${MINTPY_HOME}/src
```
</details>
</details>
</p>

### 2.2 Install on macOS ###

<p>
<details>
<p><summary>Click to expand for more details</summary></p>

<p>Install Xcode with command line tools, if you have not already done so.</p>

<ul>
<li>Install <code>Xcode</code> from App store</li>

<li><p>Install <code>command line tools</code> within XCode and agree to the terms of license.</p></li>

<pre><code>xcode-select --install -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/
sudo xcodebuild -license</code></pre>

<li>Install <a href="https://www.xquartz.org">XQuartz</a>, then restart the terminal.</li>
</ul>

<p>Install MintPy via conda [recommended], which is the same as the <a href="#21-install-on-linux">instruction for Linux</a>.</p>

<p>
<details>
<p><summary>Or install MintPy via MacPorts [obsolete] </summary></p>

Same as the instruction for Linux, except for the "b. Install dependencies" section, which is as below. Note that the installation procedure via MacPorts has not been maintained since Sep 2022, and will likely be phased out at some point, since conda/mamba works seamlessly on both MacOS and Linux.

Install <a href="https://www.macports.org/install.php">macports</a> if you have not done so. Add the following at the bottom of your <code>~/.bash_profile</code> file:

```bash
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2017-09-02_at_01:27:12: adding an appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:${PATH}
export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:${MANPATH}
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
```

Update the port tree with the following command. If your network prevents the use of rsync or svn via HTTP of the port tree, try <a href="https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/PortTreeTarball">Portfile Sync via a Snapshot Tarball</a>.

```
sudo port selfupdate
```

Install the dependencies by running the following:

```bash
# install dependencies with macports
# use "port -N install" to use the safe default for prompt questions
sudo port install $(cat MintPy/docs/ports.txt)

# install dependencies not available on macports: pysolid, pykml, pykdtree, pyresample, cdsapi
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/insarlab/PySolid.git
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/insarlab/PyAPS.git
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/tylere/pykml.git
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/storpipfugl/pykdtree.git
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/pytroll/pyresample.git
sudo -H /opt/local/bin/pip install git+https://github.com/ecmwf/cdsapi.git
```
</details>
</details>
</p>
</p>

### 2.3 Install on Windows ###

<p>
<details>
<p><summary>Click to expand for more details</summary></p>

Same as the <a href="#21-install-on-linux">instruction for Linux</a>, except for the "c. Install MintPy" section, only the <code>pip install</code> approaches are recommended, as the <code>path setup</code> approach is not tested.
</details>
</p>

## 3. Post-Installation Setup ##

#### a. ERA5 for tropospheric correction ####

Set up an account for ERA5 to download weather re-analysis datasets for tropospheric delay correction as described in <a href="https://github.com/insarlab/pyaps#2-account-setup-for-era5">insarlab/PyAPS</a>.

<code>WEATHER_DIR</code>: Optionally, if you defined an environment variable named <code>WEATHER_DIR</code> to contain the path to a directory, MintPy will download the GAM files into the indicated directory. Also, MintPy will look for the GAM files in the directory before downloading a new one to prevent downloading multiple copies if you work with different datasets that cover the same date/time.

#### b. Dask for parallel processing ####

We recommend setting the <code>temporary-directory</code> in your <a href="https://docs.dask.org/en/stable/configuration.html">Dask configuration file</a>, e.g. <code>~/.config/dask/dask.yaml</code>, by adding the following line, to avoid the potential <a href="https://github.com/insarlab/MintPy/issues/725">workspace lock issue</a>. Check the <a href="./dask.md">dask.md</a> file for more details on parallel processing.

```yaml
temporary-directory: /tmp  # Directory for local disk like /tmp, /scratch, or /local

# If you share the same machine with others, use the following instead to avoid permission issues.
# temporary-directory: /tmp/{replace_this_with_your_user_name}
```

#### c. Extra environment variables setup ####

We recommend setting the following environment variables, e.g. in your <code>~/.bash_profile</code> file, to avoid occasional errors with GDAL VRT and HDF5 files I/O.

```bash
export VRT_SHARED_SOURCE=0             # do not share dataset while using GDAL VRT in a multi-threading environment
export HDF5_DISABLE_VERSION_CHECK=2    # suppress the HDF5 version warning message (0 for abort; 1/2 for printout/suppress warning message)
export HDF5_USE_FILE_LOCKING=FALSE     # request that HDF5 file locks should NOT be used
```

#### d. Tab complete sub-commands ####

We recommend activating the <a href="https://kislyuk.github.io/argcomplete/">tab completion</a> as below if you:

1. Use bash or zsh shells
2. On Linux or macOS
3. Run MintPy in sub-commands style, e.g. <code>mintpy view</code> instead of <code>view.py</code>

```bash
activate-global-python-argcomplete --user
```

On macOS, there is a <a href="https://kislyuk.github.io/argcomplete/#global-completion">bash version compatibility</a> issue, which can be fixed as below. If you use the default zsh shell, no fix is needed.

<p>
<details>
<p><summary>Click to expand for more details</summary></p>

macOS ships with an older version of the bash shell (run <code>echo $BASH_VERSION</code> to check the version number), but <code>argcomplete</code> requires the newer version (>=4.2), which can be installed using <a href="https://brew.sh/">Homebrew</a> as:

```bash
brew install bash
```

You will also need to add the bash to <code>/etc/shells</code> and change your shell via <code>chsh</code> as:

```bash
echo "/usr/local/bin/bash" | sudo tee -a /etc/shells
chsh -s "/usr/local/bin/bash"
```

Then run <code>activate-global-python-argcomplete --user</code> again. You may need to add the following to your <code>~/.bash_profile</code> file.

```bash
# bash completion
if [ -f ~/.bash_completion ]; then
    . ~/.bash_completion
fi
```
