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.
#### Installation via Conda Forge
Installing `nd2reader` from the `conda-forge` channel can be achieved by adding `conda-forge` to your channels with:
```
conda config --add channels conda-forge
```
Once the `conda-forge` channel has been enabled, `nd2reader` can be installed with:
```
conda install nd2reader
```
It is possible to list all of the versions of `nd2reader` available on your platform with:
```
conda search nd2reader --channel conda-forge
```
