Hi everyone,
I wanted to install MNE-Python on Windows 10.
I have done the following:

  1. have installed the Python 3.10.0 in the path: C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310
  2. Installed Jupyter Notebook and see it in my start menu as Jupiter Notebook(Anaconda3)
  3. installed MNE-Python 1.3.0_0 using MNE-Python installers for windows in the path: C:\Users\myname\mne-python
  4. Then installed ANACONDA Python in the path: C:\Users\myname\Anaconda3 and also see Anaconda Navigator in my start menu.
  5. Also installed DataSpell for Anaconda while installing Anaconda3.2022.10 in the path: C:\Program Files\JetBrains\DataSpell 2022.3.1
  6. Installed Environment.yml for windows and when I imported that in Anaconda Navigator mne did not appear and in fact I don’t see mne as one of the files in base(root) under Environments.

So giving this details what is the problem? I must also add that I do have Prompt(MNE) and Anaconda Powershell Prompt(Anaconda3) in my start menu.

I appreciate your help.

Hello @mahdi and welcome to the forum!

To use MNE-Python on Windows, actually only one of these steps is necessary:

I would suggest you

  • uninstall Python
  • uninstall Anaconda
  • uninstall DataSpell unless you actually need it

You can get started with MNE-Python by using Spyder, which ships with the MNE-Python installer.

Best wishes,
Richard

Thank you Richard for the prompt reply.
I will be using MNE for the EEG signal pre-processing, analysis and Machine Learning.
Can I keep Jupyter Notebook and use it with MNE-Python? I don’t need Python because it is imbedded in MNE-Python?
Do you also please guide me to any examples (codes) of EEG signal processing and ML ?
Thank you,
Mahdi

the MNE-Python installer includes python and support for jupyter notebooks. So as @richard says you don’t need to install those things separately.

Hello, you really don’t need to install anything except for the MNE-Python standalone installer. It even comes with Jupyter.

Regarding processing and MVPA, check the documentation on the MNE website.

For deep learning, you may want to try BrainDecode.

Best wishes,
Richard

Hello,
I uninstalled everything and re-installed the MNE-Python and from my start menu opened Prompt(MNE) and ran command Jupyter notebook and then under New drop down I see 2 options: Python 3 (ipykernel) and Python [condo env:root] * but clicking on both of them gives error ( An error occured while creating a new notebook. FORBIDDEN

what possibly be the reason?

Thanks,
Mahdi
