Requirements

The main requirements are

• numpy
• astropy
• scipy
• pyastronomy

If you are needing to use this package you probably have these installed already…

Unfortunately pyastronomy cannot be added to the requirements.txt alongside numpy due to issue #22 with the setup dependency of numpy in pyastronomy. If you do not have it installed already then run:

$ pip install pyastronomy

Other requirements are needed for running the pytest test suite. If you want to try run the tests, run:

$ python setup.py test

after normal installation.

These other dependencies that you may need are

• pytest-runner
• hypothesis
• pytest
• pytest-cov
• python-coveralls
• coverage

Editable Installation

If you want to modify spectrum_overload you can instead install it like:

$ python setup.py develop
