  3. Use the following commands to:

    1. Create a new Conda environment, opensim_env

      conda create -n opensim_env python=3.11 numpy 
      
    2. Activate the environment

      conda activate opensim_env
      
  4. Install the opensim packages by running (from OpenSim 4.5.1, OpenSim Moco is included):

    conda install -c opensim-org opensim
    
  5. Test if the installation works by running:

    python
    
    >> import opensim as osim
    >> osim.GetVersionAndDate()
    >> quit()
    

    <aside> 💡 Successful messages are:

    >>> osim.GetVersionAndDate() 'version 4.5.1, build date 09:40:37 Jul 26 2024’

    </aside>

  6. The next step is to set up an IDE. You can use VS Code or Pycharm, but the installation steps are the same regardless of your OS.

  7. Install these libraries (optional, but recommended):

    1. Install the matplotlib (for plots):

      conda install matplotlib
      
    2. Install the pandas (for data manipulation):

      conda install pandas
      
    3. Install the yaml (for configuration files):

      conda install pyyaml
      
    4. Install the scikit (for synergies):

      conda install anaconda::scikit-learn
      

Previous step:

2) Install Anaconda (Windows)
