Installation Instructions¶
Prerequisites¶
You’ll need a recent python 2.6+ or 3.3+ installation, and the Numpy, Matplotlib, Scipy and Astropy libraries. You should also have a working HEASoft installation to produce the cleaned event files and to use XSpec.
An optional but recommended dependency is the netCDF 4 library with its python bindings.
Installing the Development version¶
Download¶
Download the distribution directory:
$ git clone git@bitbucket.org:mbachett/maltpynt.git
To use this command you will probably need to setup an SSH key for your account (in Manage Account, recommended!). Otherwise, you can use the command
$ git clone https://<yourusername>@bitbucket.org/mbachett/maltpynt.git
To update the software, just run
$ git pull
from the source directory (usually, the command gives troubleshooting information if this doesn’t work the first time).
Installation¶
Enter the distribution directory and run
$ python setup.py install
this will check for the existing dependencies and install the files in a proper way. From that point on, executables will be somewhere in your PATH and python libraries will be available in python scripts with the usual
import maltpynt
