Installation for Users

ctapipe and its dependencies may be installed using the Anaconda or Miniconda package system. We recommend creating a conda virtual environment first, to isolate the installed version and dependencies from your master environment (this is optional).

The following command will set up a conda virtual environment, add the necessary package channels, and download ctapipe and its dependencies. The file environment.yml can be found in this repo. Note this is pre-alpha software and is not yet stable enough for end-users (expect large API changes until the first stable 1.0 release).

conda env create -n cta -f environment.yml
source activate cta
conda install -c cta-observatory ctapipe

Developers should follow the development install instructions found in the documentation.
