Alternatively, if you are an advanced user, you may want to clone the main branch onto your computer:

git clone -b main https://github.com/medusabci/medusa-analyzer.git

2. Download the MEDUSA© Kernel (Analyzer branch)

MEDUSA© Analyzer requires the developers_analyzer branch of the MEDUSA© Kernel. Download it from its GitHub Repository using this link. After downloading it, extract it in an empty folder. Suggestion: Extract it into the following folder C:/Users/Your_Useer/Documents/Medusa_Analyzer/Kernel

Alternatively, if you are an advanced user, you may want to clone the branch:

git clone -b developers_analyzer https://github.com/medusabci/medusa-kernel.git

3. Download and install Python 3.13

Download Python 3.13 using this link. Install it in your computer.

4. Set up a Python virtual environment

Create a virtual environment. To do so:

  • 4.1 Navigate to the folder you have crated in step 1. If you have followed our suggestions, it should be in C:/Users/Your_Useer/Documents/Medusa_Analyzer/Analyzer

  • 4.2 Then, click on the address bar at the top (it should show the folder path) and type cmd, then press Enter. This opens a command prompt in the folder.

  • 4.3 In the command window, type: python -m venv venv. This will create a new folder called venv inside your project folder containing the virtual environment

  • 4.3 Activate the environment: venv/Scripts/activate.

5. Install the MEDUSA© Kernel dependencies

Install the MEDUSA© Kernel into your virtual environment. In the CMD window type:

pip install /path/to/medusa-kernel
Replace /path/to/medusa-kernel with the path to the folder you created in step 2. If you have followed our suggestions it should be e.g. C:/Users/Your_Useer/Documents/Medusa_Analyzer/Kernel). After activating your virtual environment, install all dependencies with one command: 
pip install -r requirements.txt
