Install the library

pip install FlyingKoala

Optional Dependencies

The FlyingKoala supplied modules which have no extra dependencies.

Install the add-in

The trouble with installing this one is the element of “it depends”. The punchline is the add-in needs to be placed where your add-ins go.

Until we can arrange a script that figures it out for us we will need to do it by hand.

Copy the addin\flyingkoala.xlam to;

Here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns

Or here: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Sometimes there’s an XLSTART in your home directory.

It could well be somewhere else… (especially if you’re on a Mac)

If you got through the add-in install and are following the example bouncing ball, next up is Using FlyingKoala.
