exoplanet doesn’t have a compiled components so it can be easily installed from source or by using pip.
The only required dependencies for exoplanet are NumPy, PyMC3 and AstroPy. These can be installed using conda or pip:
conda install numpy pymc3 astropy
or
pip install numpy pymc3 astropy
The source code for exoplanet can be downloaded and installed from GitHub by running
git clone --recursive https://github.com/dfm/exoplanet.git
cd exoplanet
python setup.py install
To run the unit tests, install the following dependencies using pip or conda
(you’ll need to use the conda-forge
channel to get starry):
conda install -c conda-forge numpy scipy astropy pymc3 pytest starry pip
pip install batman-package parameterized nose
and then execute:
py.test -v
All of the tests should (of course) pass. If any of the tests don’t pass and if you can’t sort out why, open an issue on GitHub.
