Setting Up Python

System requirements

For the plugin framework to work, Python and either pip or pixi must be installed on your system. For best results, use Pixi.

Note that for versions 2.0 or later, the pre-built versions of Avogadro available from the Install page or the Releases page on GitHub include a copy of Pixi, so an additional installation of it is not required.

Choosing a Python interpreter

If you want to use a specific Python interpreter (because, for example, it is associated with a Python environment that contains particular dependencies) you can select one from the system via Extensions > Python Settings….

This should not be necessary for typical users.
