Full Installation Package & Full Upgrade Package

The full installation package is named PickWiz_v{X.Y.Z}_win_x64_offline.zip, which contains the PickWiz application, the basic Deep Learning environment, and general models, as shown below.
The full upgrade package is named PickWiz_v{X.Y.Z}_win_x64_upgrade_offline.zip, which contains the PickWiz application and general models, with the basic environment-related resources removed. If the basic environment has already been prepared using the full offline package, you can use the offline upgrade package for later upgrades (smaller size).

The full installation package and full upgrade package support fully offline installation.

3. Install the Software

3.1 Installation on a New Machine

The full installation package and full upgrade package support fully offline installation.

Checks required before installation:
When installing and updating PickWiz using the full installation package, Anaconda does not need to be installed;
If Anaconda is already installed but is located in a folder that requires administrator permissions (such as the Windows folder on the C drive, Program Files, Program Files (x86), ProgramData, etc.), or if the environment variables are configured incorrectly, uninstall the installed Anaconda first and delete the corresponding environment variables. Also ensure that Anaconda is not installed in the PickWiz installation directory (for example, C:\Users\dex);
If 360 antivirus software is installed before installation, close it first; otherwise, it may block the installer.

（1） Extract the full installation package

（2） Install PickWiz

Open the extracted files and double-click the exe application file, as shown below;

Select the installation directory
It is recommended to install it in the default directory. It cannot be installed on another hard drive.
Follow the prompts until you reach "Select Components"
When the installation progress reaches 95%, a prompt saying "Installing component middleware" will appear.
When installing PickWiz for the first time on a new machine, the CUDA installation window will pop up. The image below shows the temporary CUDA extraction directory. It is recommended to use the default folder. This folder will be deleted automatically after installation is complete.
For "Installation Options", it is recommended to choose "Compact".
CUDA installation completed
PickWiz installation continues. The first installation takes about 30 minutes. Please wait patiently. After installation is complete, the following prompt will appear:
Click "Next" to complete the installation.
After installing PickWiz for the first time, restart the computer before running PickWiz

3.2 Upgrade

To upgrade using the full upgrade package, refer to 3.1 Install Using the Full Installation Package

3.3 Install `whl` Packages Separately

For installing whl packages such as PickLight, GLIA, and RLIA.

Download the whl package from NAS. For the NAS address, refer to 2.1 Download Methods

Navigate to the directory of the required whl package and download it.

After downloading, open the Anaconda Prompt terminal.

In the opened Anaconda Prompt terminal, enter the conda activate pickwiz_py39 command to activate the backend environment.

Enter the command to the directory where the downloaded whl package is saved. Usually, after downloading, the whl package is saved in the C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads directory, so enter Downloads in the Anaconda Prompt terminal to reach the directory where the whl package is stored.

In the directory where the whl package is stored, run the installation command pip install xxx.whl, where xxx.whl indicates the package name.

If you install a whl package of the same version, run the pip uninstall xxx.whl command to uninstall it first, and then run the installation command pip install xxx.whl; otherwise, the whl package installation may fail.
