Installation

You can install ome-writers via pip (or uv pip).

You must also select select at least one backend extra:

pip install ome-writers[<backend>]

...where <backend> is a comma-separated list of one or more of the following:

  • tensorstore — Uses tensorstore, supports OME-Zarr v0.5.
  • acquire-zarr — Uses acquire-zarr, supports OME-Zarr v0.5.
  • zarr-python — Uses zarr-python, supports OME-Zarr v0.5.
  • zarrs-python — Uses zarrs-python, supports OME-Zarr v0.5.
  • tifffile — Uses tifffile, supports OME-TIFF.
  • all — install all backends.

Note

All zarr-backends use yaozarrs to generate OME-Zarr metadata and create zarr hierarchies (only array-writing is handled by the selected backend).
