Package: rad
Roman Attribute DictionaryThis is a repository for the Roman Attribute DictionaryInstallationThe easiest way to install the latestradrelease into a fresh virtualenv or conda environment ispip install radDetailed InstallationTheradpackage can be installed into a virtualenv or conda environment viapip. We recommend that for each
installation you start by creating a fresh environment that only has Python installed and then install theradpackage and its dependencies into that bare environment. If using conda environments, first make sure you have a recent
version of Anaconda or Miniconda installed. If desired, you can create multiple environments to allow for switching
between different versions of theradpackage (e.g. a released version versus the current development version).In all cases, the installation is generally a 3-step process:Create a conda environmentActivate that environmentInstall the desired version of theradpackage into that environmentDetails are given below on how to do this for different types of installations, including tagged releases, DMS builds
used in operations, and development versions. Remember that all conda operations must be done from within a bash shell.Installing latest releasesYou can install the latest released version viapip. From a bash shell:conda create -n <env_name> python
conda activate <env_name>
pip install radNoteAlternatively, you can also usevirtualenvto create an environment;
however, this installation method is not supported by STScI if you encounter issues.You can also install a specific version (fromrad 0.1.0onward):conda create -n <env_name> python
conda activate <env_name>
pip install rad==0.5.0Installing the development version from GithubYou can install the latest development version (not as well tested) from the Github main branch:conda create -n <env_name> python
conda activate <env_name>
pip install git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/radInstalling for DevelopersIf you want to be able to work on and test the source code with theradpackage, the high-level procedure to do
this is to first create a conda environment using the same procedures outlined above, but then install your personal
copy of the code overtop of the original code in that environment. Again, this should be done in a separate conda
environment from any existing environments that you may have already installed with released versions of theradpackage.As usual, the first two steps are to create and activate an environment:conda create -n <env_name> python
conda activate <env_name>To install your own copy of the code into that environment, you first need to fork and clone theradrepo:cd <where you want to put the repo>
git clone https://github.com/spacetelescope/rad
cd radNoteInstalling viasetup.py(python setup.py install,python setup.py develop, etc.) is deprecated and does not work.Install from your local checked-out copy as an "editable" install:pip install -e .If you want to run the unit or regression tests and/or build the docs, you can make sure those dependencies are
installed too:pip install -e ".[test]"
pip install -e ".[docs]"
pip install -e ".[test,docs]"Need other useful packages in your development environment?pip install ipython pytest-xdist
