Installation

All official SCT plugins are available on PyPI and can be installed using pip or any other python package manager.

Installing from PyPI

Note

Few SCT analyses plugins can be installed directly when installing SCT itself using the dedicated optional dependency group. Refer to the SCT installation guide page for more details.

To install a plugin from PyPI, you can use the following command:

Bash

pip install sct-<name>-analysis

where <name> is the name of the plugin you want to install. The list of available plugins can be found here.

Virtual Environments

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