Installation

The simplest way to install stitch is via pip::

pip install stitch

or via conda::

conda install stitch

If you installed via pip, and notebook version < 5.3, you will also have to install / configure the front-end extension as well. If you are using classic notebook (as opposed to Jupyterlab), run::

jupyter nbextension install [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py stitch

jupyter nbextension enable [--sys-prefix / --user / --system] --py stitch

with the appropriate flag_. If you are using Jupyterlab, install the extension with::

jupyter labextension install stitch

If you are installing using conda, these commands should be unnecessary, but If you need to run them the commands should be the same (just make sure you choose the --sys-prefix flag).
