- # Tutorial
-
- ### Installation
-
- If you don't already have the packages `numpy`, `pims`, `six` and `xmltodict`, they will be installed automatically if you use the `setup.py` script.
- `nd2reader` is an order of magnitude faster in Python 3. I recommend using it unless you have no other choice. Python 2.7 and Python >= 3.4 are supported.
-
- ### Opening ND2s
-
- `nd2reader` follows the [pims](https://github.com/soft-matter/pims) framework. To open a file and show the first frame:
-
- ```python
- from nd2reader import ND2Reader
- import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-
- with ND2Reader('my_directory/example.nd2') as images:
- plt.imshow(images[0])
- ```
-
- After opening the file, all `pims` features are supported. Please refer to the [pims documentation](http://soft-matter.github.io/pims/).
