Gamry Echem ToolkitPy Installation Guide

A quick start guide for installing the Echem ToolkitPy software development tool from Gamry Instruments.

Overview

This document outlines the essential steps for installing the Echem ToolkitPy software development tool by Gamry Instruments. It ensures users can successfully set up the necessary software components for their electrochemical analysis needs.

Prerequisites and Software Suite Installation

Before proceeding, ensure Gamry's software Version 7.10.4 or higher is installed. If not, download the latest installation file from Gamry's Client Portal. The Gamry Software Suite Installer includes ToolkitPy, a Python installer (version 3.7.9, 32-bit), and essential libraries like NumPy and Pyside.

During the software suite installation, select the "Electrochemistry Toolkit" and "ToolkitPy" features to include them in the installation process.

ToolkitPy Installation Steps

Step 1: Administrator Rights

Ensure you have administrator privileges on your computer. If unsure, contact your IT department.

Step 2: PowerShell Configuration

Verify that PowerShell's Execution Policy allows script execution. Launch PowerShell as an administrator and set the policy using the command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine. Confirm the change by typing 'a' for 'Yes to All'. This can be verified using Get-ExecutionPolicy -List.

Step 3: Python 3.7.9 Installation

If an existing Python 3.7 (32-bit) installation is present, it must be uninstalled first. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. Navigate to the Python installation directory: cd C:\ProgramData\Gamry Instruments\Python\Python37-32. Then, execute the installation script: powershell .\install_32bit.ps1. Confirm with 'y'.

The installation places Python components, sample scripts, and source code in designated directories.

Completion and Support

Once the installation is complete, the Echem ToolkitPy software package is ready for use. For comprehensive information and assistance, refer to the ToolkitPy Help Manual. For technical support, contact Gamry Instruments directly.
