Installation Instructions

To install the Sensitivity Analysis Toolbox (SA Toolbox), you have two options: cloning the source code from the GitLab repository or using the precompiled executable file. Below, both methods are described in detail.

Ensure that you have Python 3.12 or later installed on your machine.

Option 1: Clone from GitLab Repository

You can clone the source code of the SA Toolbox from the GitLab repository using the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

git clone https://gitlab.gwdg.de/mostafa.abdelhafiz/sa-toolbox.git

Once you have cloned the repository, navigate to the project directory:

cd sa-toolbox

Optional: Creat a Virtual Environment

python -m venv venv

Install the toolbox:

pip install .

Launching the Application

After successfully installing the application, launch the toolbox by running the following command in the terminal 

sa-toolbox

Option 2: Using the Precompiled Executable

If you prefer not to install Python and its dependencies, a precompiled executable file (.exe) is available for direct installation. You can download it from the Releases tab. Simply download the packaged .rar file and follow these steps:

  • Locate the downloaded .rar file on your computer.
  • Extract/unpack the .rar file to a folder of your choice.
  • Inside the extracted folder, find the .exe file.
  • Double-click the .exe file to run the SA Toolbox.

Troubleshooting Installation Issues

In case you encounter issues during installation:

  • Ensure your Python version meets the minimum requirement if installing from the source.

  • If using the '.exe' file, confirm that you have the necessary permissions to execute files.

  • Check for any missing dependencies if running from source code.
