Installing

Back to Contents.

On Ubuntu

• Download the package for your version of Ubuntu here.
• Install the downloaded package using: sudo apt install --fix-broken ./<takin.deb>, where "<takin.deb>" is the name of the downloaded package. Please note the "./" before the file name.
• [ Alternatively, you can install the package using the commands sudo dpkg -i <takin.deb> followed by sudo apt install --fix-broken. ]

On Mac

• Download the dmg image for Mac here.
• Open the dmg file and drag the Takin icon onto the icon to the left representing the /Applications folder.
• Once installed, launch Takin from the /Applications folder. Note that the first time you need to control-click on Takin and select "Open". This is because the program is not signed.
• [ An older, signed, but feature-reduced version of Takin 2.0 is also available from the App Store. Due to its missing functionalities involving resolution convolution, this version is not recommended for data treatment. ]

On Windows

• Download the archive for Windows here.
• Extract the zip file to any writable directory.
• Inside the directory, double-click on the file takin.exe to run the program.
• Please note that this version is still experimental and does not contain all features of the other two versions. For example, the Python scripting module for resolution convolution is missing.
• You can alternatively run the Ubuntu version on Windows using the Windows subsystem for Linux (WSL).
