TSTools is being developed for Python 3 ( currently using v 3.7.3 ). In addition to having a recent version of Python 3 installed, you will also need several open source Python 3 scientific, data, and plotting libraries (SciPy, NumPy, plotly, etc.). A convenient way to get everything you will need is to download and install Anaconda for Python 3. This will come with the latest stable version of Python 3 and gives you a convenient way to install/update/manage your Python modules.

You can download Anaconda for Python 3 here: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/

All of the libraries we are using for TSTools development should be part of the standard Anaconda installation. A list of the packages that come standard is here: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/packages/py3.7_osx-64/

Instructions for making sure all of your Anaconda installed libraries are up to date are here: https://www.anaconda.com/keeping-anaconda-date/

I think it's a good idea to run: $ conda update --all once after installation just to make sure everything is up to date.

To see the names and versions of all the packages installed and managed through Anaconda on your machine run: $ conda list

That should be it for getting started. Let me know if you have any questions.
