Installation

The xspec package is currently only available to download and install from source available from XSPEC.

Step 1: Clone repository

git clone git@github.com:cabouman/xspec.git
cd xspec

Step 2: Install xspec

Two options are listed below for installing xspec. Option 1 only requires that a bash script be run, but it is less flexible. Option 2 explains how to perform manual installation.

Option 1: Clean install from dev_scripts

To do a clean install, use the command:

cd dev_scripts
source ./install_all.sh
cd ..

Option 2: Manual install

1. Create conda environment: Create a new conda environment named xspec using the following commands:

   conda remove env --name xspec --all
   conda create --name xspec python=3.10
   conda activate xspec
   conda install ipykernel
   python -m ipykernel install --user --name xspec --display-name xspec
   

2. Install package:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   pip install .
