Installation

PATCHBAY is primarily tested on Windows inside a conda environment.

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• Python (managed via conda)
• Optional: NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) for faster inference

Create the conda environment

From the repository root (where environment.yml lives):

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate patchbay

Run PATCHBAY

GUI:

python patchbay_gui.py

CLI (anchors / automation tooling):

python patchbay_anchor.py --help

Updating

If you change environment.yml or want a clean start:

conda env remove -n patchbay
conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate patchbay
