Installation ------------ Requirements ^^^^^^^^^^^^ `sbpy` has the following requirements that will be automatically taken care of with installation using pip: * Python 3.8 or later * `ads `__ 0.12 or later, to fetch citation details for bibliography tracking. * `astropy `__ 4.3 or later. * `astroquery `__ 0.4.5 or later, for retrieval of online data, e.g., ephemerides and orbits. * `numpy `__ 1.18 or later. * `scipy `__: 1.3 or later, for numerical integrations in `sbpy.activity.gas` and `sbpy.photometry`, among others. * `synphot `__ 1.1.1 or later, for calibration with respect to the Sun and Vega, filtering spectra through bandpasses. Optional dependencies ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ * Python extensions for `oorb `__: For orbit transformations (`~sbpy.data.Orbit.oo_transform`) and propagations (`~sbpy.data.Orbit.oo_propagate`), as well as ephemerides calculations (`~sbpy.data.Ephem.from_oo`). * `pyradex `__: For non-LTE production rate calculations related to cometary activity (`~sbpy.activity.gas.NonLTE`). * `ginga `__ and `photutils `__: To interactively enhance images of comets with the `~sbpy.imageanalysis.CometaryEnhancement` Ginga plugin. Using pip ^^^^^^^^^ The latest stable version of `sbpy` can be installed with: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install sbpy Most optional dependencies may be installed via: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install sbpy[all] `oorb` and `pyradex` are left for the user to install manually. The latest development version of `sbpy` can be easily installed using: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install git+https://github.com/NASA-Planetary-Science/sbpy.git Using conda ^^^^^^^^^^^ The latest stable version of `sbpy` can be installed with `Anaconda `__ via the `conda-forge `__ channel: .. code-block:: bash $ conda install sbpy --channel=conda-forge If you do not have the conda-forge channel available, add it and re-run the installation command: .. code-block:: bash $ conda config --add channels conda-forge $ conda install sbpy --channel=conda-forge Using Git+Pip ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This way of installing `sbpy` is recommended if you plan to contribute to the module. The current development version of `sbpy` can be obtained from `GitHub `__ using: .. code-block:: bash $ git clone https://github.com/NASA-Planetary-Science/sbpy.git This will create a new directory (``sbpy/``). In this directory, run: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install . As above, to install optional dependencies, instead use ``pip install .[all]``. If you plan to work on the code and always want to use the latest version of your code, we recommend installing in "editable" mode with the optional dependences and the testing dependencies: .. code-block:: bash $ pip install -e .[all,test]
