Installing CellProfiler Analyst from source requires Python 3.8+, which you can download here. You will also need Git for Windows.

You'll optionally need to install JDK 8.0+ in order to load uncommon image formats, we recommend using AdoptOpenJDK.

Once these are installed, open a command prompt and navigate to where you'd like to install CPA. Run git clone https://github.com/CellProfiler/CellProfiler-Analyst.git to download CPA.

Once cloning completes, we can set up the environment. cd into the CellProfiler-Analyst directory.

The next step is to run pip install numpy, this is required before we run the main setup.

Once numpy is installed, run pip install -e . to install all the other dependencies.

If all worked correctly, you can start CPA by running python CellProfiler-Analyst.py or by double clicking that file in the explorer.
