Installation
From Source
deprojected_sersic_models can be installed from source.
Before installing the package, you will need to install python (v3)
and the dependent packages (numpy, scipy, matplotlib, astropy, dill).
Tip
To handle dependencies (including possible clashes with other packages), we recommend using a separate python environment (such as an Anaconda python environment).
The Anaconda installation and environments guides lead through the necessary steps to create a new Anaconda python environment.
The most recent release version can be downloaded from the repository.
The package can then be installed from the command line as follows:
$ tar zxvf deprojected_sersic_models-N.N.N.tar.gz
$ cd deprojected_sersic_models-N.N.N
$ python setup.py install
where N.N.N should be replaced with the current version number.
After the installation is complete, you should be able to access the module by running
import deprojected_sersic_models within python.
