Album graphical user interface

The graphical interface lets you add catalogs and install and run solutions without the command line.

Start from scratch with the Album installer

Download and run the installation wizard for your operating system. Then start the interface with the Album shortcut on your desktop.

What happens behind the scenes?

The Album installer is a one file executable that automatically takes care of the following steps:

1. It creates a folder called .album in your home directory, which will hold all Album related files.
2. It installs micromamba into .album/micromamba.
3. It installs Album and its graphical interface into the Album environment .album/envs/album.
4. It creates an Album shortcut on your desktop, which starts the graphical interface.

It does not change your shell settings, so an existing conda or micromamba setup keeps working as before.

How to use the Album interface

The Graphical interface page of the Album documentation shows how to add a catalog, find, install and run a solution, and keep your catalogs and solutions up to date.
