Install Python - GeosoftInc/gxpy GitHub Wiki

NOTE: As of 9.7 Python is shipped with Geosoft Desktop. These steps are no longer necessary.

To use Python from Geosoft you must have 64-bit Python version 3.5 or later installed on your system. There are many ways to install Python, though we recommend Anaconda Python as it provides a complete toolset suitable for most scientific development. To install Anaconda Python go to the Anaconda Download Page, download and install the 64-bit version of Python 3 (currently 3.7, which requires Geosoft 9.5 or later) and follow Anaconda's instructions. Note the name of the installation folder, which by default will be c:/ProgramData/Anaconda3.

Once installed, you must register the location of the main Python folder on your system so we can find it. If you have the Python menu loaded, select menu item Python/Configure Python.../Locate Python..., or you can use Settings/Global Settings/Python...
