Album graphical user interface

NOTE

The graphical user interface of Album just recently hatched and is experimental. There will likely be issues or features you are missing - please let us know either on this page below in the comment section or here. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Start from scratch with the Album Installer

Install Album as described here using the installer wizard - this will generate a launcher / a shortcut on your desktop (depending on your operating system) for the Album user interface.

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 the Album environment into .album/envs/album.
4. It creates a shortcut for launching the graphical user interface of Album.

How to use the Album interface

1. The Album launcher should be located either in your list of applications or as a shortcut on your desktop. Once you launch it, you should see a list of solutions coming with the default Album catalog - these are templates which are not particularly interesting to run.

2. Add catalogs by clicking on catalogs in the bottom left corner and then on Add catalog. Enter the URL of the catalog, for example https://gitlab.com/album-app/catalogs/helmholtz-imaging.

When running a solution which is not installed, the UI will ask you to install the solution first.
