Install Python

Python 3.7.x is supported on Windows. Python 3.6.4 is supported on macOS.

On macOS, installing Python 3.6.x from python.org is supported.

For information about specific Python versions, see the system requirements on the JMP website: https://www.jmp.com/support/system_requirements_jmp.shtml.

Notes:

Python is not distributed with JMP. Download Python from the Python web site at https://python.org.

Several Python implementations are available. Visit https://www.python.org/download/alternatives to view the alternatives.

On macOS, installing Python 3.6.x from python.org installs in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework.

On macOS, you must have only a single version of Python installed in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/. If there is anything other than a single directory in the Versions folder, the Python script will not run.

JMP is a 64-bit application. Therefore, you must install the Python 64-bit version.

Required Python Packages

For the JMP-to-Python interfaces to work properly, you must install certain Python packages and their prerequisites. In many Python installations, such as Anaconda, these packages are already installed. If you install Python from Python.org, also install the following packages:

numpy

https://www.numpy.org

pandas

https://pandas.pydata.org

matplotlib

https://matplotlib.org

scipy

https://www.scipy.org

sqlite3

https://www.sqlite.org

PyQt5

https://pypi.org/project/PyQt5/

Use the standard Python update tools to install these packages for your Python configuration. You must use the correct pip-tool for your installation. The pip-tool name is dependent on the what product has installed Python. The installation instructions for Python have instructions on using pip tools.
