Installation
============

**geoh5py** is currently written for Python 3.10 or higher, and depends on `NumPy <https://numpy.org/>`_ and
`h5py <https://www.h5py.org/>`_.



.. note:: Users will likely want to take advantage of other packages available in the Python ecosystem. We therefore recommend using `Miniforge <https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge#download>`_ `(Windows x86_64) <https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Windows-x86_64.exe>`_ to manage the installation.
