1. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0

2. Download the Laguerre Tessellation Tool: https://github.com/wackywendell/tess

3. Download the Droplet Contact Numbers and Probabilities script (DCNumPro_1.0.py) and the conda environment suitable for your operating system (DCNumPro_windows.yml for Windows or DCNumPro_linux.yml for Linux): https://git.rwth-aachen.de/avt-fvt/public/contact-numbers-and-probabilities

4. Put the DCNumPro_1.0.py and DCNumPro_windows.yml (or DCNumPro_linux.yml) files into the main folder of the Laguerre Tessellation Tool (tess-master)

5. Open the DCNumPro_1.0.py script with an code editor and install the environment DCNumPro.yml (or DCNumPro_linux.yml):

• conda env create -f DCNumPro_windows.yml or
• conda env create -f DCNumPro_linux.yml

6. Install the Laguerre Tessellation Tool: python setup.py build_ext -i

7. Set configuration parameters in DCNumPro.py and run the script.

99. Troubleshooting

a) If you have problems with conda not finding the packages when creating the environment, try to add conda channels:

• conda config --append channels conda-forge
• conda config --append channels anaconda

b) If you have problems with creating the environment using the .YML file, try manual creation:

conda create -n DCNumPro python=3.10 xlwt numpy pandas sympy scipy cycler matplotlib sphinx sphinx_rtd_theme cython tqdm
