Conda Way (for performance)

1. Ensure Anaconda is installed

If you don’t have Anaconda installed, download it from here.

2. Navigate to the CAFE directory (./CAFE/)

• Ensure you are in the correct directory where you will find the following files: bin folder, cafe.py, pixi.toml, cafe.yaml etc.
• If unsure, open your terminal app (or Anaconda Powershell) and navigate to the folder containing the cafe.py file by typing:

cd ./path/to/CAFE

3. Create a predefined conda environment

conda env create -f cafe.yaml

This will automatically create a new environment called cafe and install all required packages.

4. Activate the conda environment

Run this command to activate the Conda environment

conda activate cafe

Note

If you already have a cafe environment from a previous version, remove it first by deactivating the environment and running:

conda env remove -n cafe -y

Then, start from step 3 to set up a fresh environment.
