Installation#

We recommend installing Visisipy in a separate environment with a project manager like uv:

uv add visisipy

Visisipy is available on PyPI and can be installed through pip:

pip install visisipy

Visisipy is available on conda-forge and can be installed through conda:

conda install -c conda-forge visisipy

Enabling GPU Acceleration#

To use Torch for GPU-accelerated ray tracing, you need to install the torch package:

uv add visisipy[torch]
pip install visisipy[torch]
conda install pytorch

GPU acceleration is only available for the Optiland backend.
