Brad, I was going to do the same thing (open an issue with this), and saw you did it already, and even cleaned up our conversation. Thanks man!

@haplm you deserve the credit! thanks for teaching me

Installing python and running the .py works on every platform. On Linux you don't even need to install python since it's already there! The reason for a win executable is to enable at least for some people a solution without all this.

If you just install anaconda with python 2.7 everything should be there! (and you can also start programming your own stuff, which is awsome! ) https://www.anaconda.com/download/

If you also need an editor, try PyCharm ;)

The convo on FB was deleted, what were the command lines for updating again?

[haplm]

cd PID-Analyzer
git pull

optionally 'pip install -r requirements.txt'

From Kevin on the BF Slack:

"At least on Linux the problem is, that the check in line 365 "if str(np.shape(l))=='(4L, 2L)'" fails since the string seems to be different on Windows than on Linux (and probably Mac too). Changing this line to "if np.shape(l) == (4,2):" should fix the problem and you'll have the exact same scale as on Windows."

Hi, in my case, this application not generate png image on tmp folder :-( Any solution ?

[Bradw-17]

@sjpagna just use PIDToolBox: https://github.com/bw1129/PIDtoolbox

Plasmatree unfortunately is dead.
