Note
Julearn keeps on being updated and improved. The latest stable release and the developer version therefore oftentimes differ quite a bit. If you want the newest updates it might make more sense for you to use the developer version until we release the next stable julearn version.
Depending on your aimed usage of Julearn you have two different options how to install Julearn:
Install the latest release: Likely most suitable for most end users. This is done by installing the latest stable release from PyPi.
pip install -U julearn
