Gamry Software Suite Installation
The installation process requires several steps to get the complete ToolkitPy software package. Gamry’s Software Suite Installer does not install Python or any required site-packages but provides all necessary files for the installation of the ToolkitPy software development tool. For the installation process, you will require Gamry’s software Version 7.10.4 or higher. If you have not installed Version 7.10.4 yet, but own one of our instruments, download the latest installation file on Gamry’s Client Portal.
The Installer includes ToolkitPy, a Python Installer for a curated version of Python 3.7.9 (32-bit), and site-package libraries such as NumPy 1.21.6 or Pyside2 5.15.2.
After launching Gamry’s Software Suite Installer, you can add your preferred software features. Programs such as the Echem Analyst 2 or Framework are already pre-selected by default. ToolkitPy may not be automatically selected. Click on the checkbox next to ToolkitPy to add it to the installation process. Press Next to continue and follow the subsequent steps.
After selecting the ToolkitPy feature and the installation has been completed, the following file directories will be installed:
| Description | Directory |
| Python components | C:\ProgramData\Gamry Instruments\Python |
| Sample scripts | C:\ProgramData\Gamry Instruments\Python\Scripts |
| Source code for VFP2 | C:\ProgramData\Gamry Instruments\VFP2 |
You are now ready to install the complete ToolkitPy software package.
PowerShell ExecutionPolicy Configuration
Make sure that you have administrator rights on your host computer. If you are unsure of your privileges on the device, please contact your IT Department. Before starting the installation, you must verify that the computer has the proper Execution Policy to ensure that PowerShell can execute the installation script. Launch Windows® PowerShell by right clicking the program and selecting Run as administrator. Select Yes to allow changes when prompted.
In PowerShell, get the ExecutionPolicy list to see what is currently allowed. First execute: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
Then, execute: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
This will allow PowerShell to run the script. The policy change will ask you to apply the change to a portion, all, or none of the current policies. Use a for Yes to All.
Finally, execute: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List The last step is repeated to verify the changes. Close PowerShell once the change is confirmed. See the figure below for the fully executed sequence.
