Installation

Requirements

SCT requires a Python version equal or higher than 3.11.

To install SCT using pip:

install with pip

pip install sct

Virtual Environments

We recommend using a dedicated virtual environment to install the main SCT software.
This will ensure that the software is installed in a separate environment and avoids conflicts with other packages or dependencies.

Plugins installation

SCT is designed to be extensible and several plugins to support different input products formats have been developed and distributed as separate packages.

Refer to the official plugins documentation for further information on how to install plugins.
