Hello @FeryET and welcome to the forum!
The answer to your question really depends on what kind of functionality you need. The main reason the mne
package on conda-forge
has so many dependencies (and why we recommend installing it into a separate environment) is because the 3D plotting dependencies are not trivial to install correctly.
There’s been some work on an mne-base
conda-forge
package without this huge number of dependencies, but it’s not in a working state yet.
If you don’t need 3D plotting and simply want EDF reading, you could simply install MNE-Python via pip install mne
(instead of using conda
)
Best wishes,
Richard
