Installation (MATLAB)
===========================

This page describes installation of the MATLAB version of DANT.

- Download the code from `DANT <https://github.com/jiumao2/DANT>`_

- Development is based on MATLAB R2022b. The following toolboxes are required:

    - Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
    - Optimization Toolbox
    - Parallel Computing Toolbox

- Python 3.9-3.11 with ``scikit-learn`` and ``hdbscan`` installed (`Anaconda <https://www.anaconda.com/download>`_ is recommended).

.. code-block:: bash
   :linenos:

    conda create -n hdbscan python=3.10
    conda activate hdbscan
    pip install scikit-learn
    pip install hdbscan

- Specify the Python executable path in ``settings.json``.

.. code-block:: json

    "path_to_python": "path_to_anaconda\\anaconda3\\envs\\hdbscan\\python.exe"

On macOS or Linux, the path may look like ``/Users/username/anaconda3/envs/hdbscan/bin/python``.

You can find the path by running the following command in the Anaconda Prompt:

.. code-block:: bash

    conda info --envs
