Overview

There're two main steps to this: setting up Python and the packages stalkless uses, and then setting up the two R packages. It's not technically challenging, but it is fiddly. Sorry!

To run stalkless, just type python stalkless.py from the command prompt (Windows) or from Terminal (Mac/Linux). Under Windows, you may need to add Python to your Windows PATH.

Python and its packages

1. Python. Grab the latest version of Python 2.7. Do not download any Python version starting with a 3.
2. NumPy. Grab it from here - make sure to get the version for Python 2.7, not 2.6 (SourceForge tends to take you there by default.)
3. SciPy. Grab it from here - make sure to get the version for Python 2.7, not 2.6 (SourceForge tends to take you there by default.)
4. scikit-image. Grab it from here. You will likely need to install Cython as well.

R packages

This bit's easy! Install R (...you've already got it though, right?...). Then just run install.packages("Momocs", dependencies=TRUE).
