Installation

astLib requires:

• Python (tested on versions 3.6+)

• Astropy - http://www.astropy.org (tested on version 3.2.1)

• Numpy - http://numpy.scipy.org (tested on version 1.18.1)

• SciPy - http://scipy.org (tested on version 1.3.1)

• Matplotlib - http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net (tested on version 3.1.1)

Optional:

• Python Imaging Library - http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil (tested on version 1.1.7)

Other versions of the software listed above are likely to work.

You can install astLib via pip:

pip install astLib --user

You may also install using the standard setup.py script, e.g., as root:

sudo python setup.py install

Alternatively,

python setup.py install --user

will install astLib under $HOME/.local (on Ubuntu), and in some other default location on Mac.

You can also use the --prefix option, e.g.,

python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/local

and then add, e.g., $HOME/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages to $PYTHONPATH (adjust the path according to your Python version number).

export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH
