Installation

Halostack requires the following additional software, and their own requirements, to be installed:

python
numpy
matplotlib
imagemagick
pythonmagick
ufraw

UFRaw is needed only if RAW image formats are used. PNG, JPG and TIFF files can be used without it.

You can download the Halostack source code from github,:

$ git clone https://github.com/pnuu/halostack.git

and then run:

$ python setup.py install

There is a command-line interface halostack_cli.py available in the bin/ directory that can be used to interface the Halostack libraries.

Testing

To check if your python setup is compatible with halostack, you can run the test suite using nosetests,:

$ cd halostack
$ nosetests -v tests/

or:

$ cd halostack
$ python setup.py test
