### FEATURES

* Supports all standard normalizations and phase conventions of the spherical harmonic functions.

* Effortless conversion between real and complex harmonics, and between different normalization and phase conventions.

* Use of both regularly sampled geographic grids and grids appropriate for Gauss-Legendre quadrature.

* Spherical harmonic transforms proven to be accurate up to about degree 2800 for the native Fortran 95 backend and beyond using the [DUCC0](https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/mtr/ducc) backend.

* Perform localized multitaper spectral analyses, or expand gridded data in terms of localized Slepian basis functions.

* Support for standard data and file formats, including *xarray* and *netcdf*.

* Import research-grade gravity, topography, and magnetic field datasets with a single command.

* Creation of publication quality maps using [Cartopy](https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy) and [PyGMT](https://scitools.org.uk/cartopy/docs/latest).

* Support multithreaded programming using the [OpenMP](https://www.openmp.org) API.

### HOW TO USE

A variety of Python tutorials and guides are available to explain the main library features. To get started, click on the following Python tutorials and run them interactively in Binder:

* [Spherical harmonic coefficients and grids](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS/blob/master/examples/notebooks/grids-and-coefficients.ipynb)
* [Localization windows and spectral analysis](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS/blob/master/examples/notebooks/localized-spectral-analysis.ipynb)
* [Gravity and magnetic fields](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS/blob/master/examples/notebooks/gravity-and-magnetic-fields.ipynb)
* [Plotting maps](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS/blob/master/examples/notebooks/plotting-maps.ipynb)

### INSTALLATION

SHTOOLS can be invoked in any Fortran 95 or Python program. The core software is written in Fortran 95, and Python wrappers and dedicated classes allow simple access to the fortran-compiled routines. To install it, run these commands below:

#### pyshtools (for Python)

##### Install using `conda`:
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge pyshtools
conda update -c conda-forge pyshtools  # to upgrade a pre-existing installation
```

##### Install using `pip`:
```bash
pip install pyshtools
pip install --upgrade pyshtools  # to upgrade a pre-existing installation
pip install pyshtools --no-binary pyshtools  # build from source
pip install git+https://github.com/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS@develop  # install the develop branch from source
```

##### For developers:
Install the system level build requirements:
```bash
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake gfortran  # Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives
sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries" "Development Tools"  # Fedora, Centos, RHEL and derivatives
sudo dnf install cmake gcc-fortran  # Fedora, Centos, RHEL and derivatives
xcode-select --install  # macOS
```

Then clone the shtools repo, install the other dependencies, and install manually in a conda environment:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SHTOOLS/SHTOOLS.git
cd shtools
conda create -n your_env_name python=3.xx  # create a new conda environment, if desired
conda env update -n your_env_name -f environment.yml
conda activate your_env_name  # activate the new conda environment
pip install --no-build-isolation -e .  # install into the shtools folder and link to the active python environment
```

#### SHTOOLS (for Fortran 95)

##### Install using the [brew](http://brew.sh/) package manager (MacOS, Linux, Windows):
```bash
brew install shtools
```

##### Install using the [macports](https://www.macports.org/) package manager (MacOS):
```bash
sudo port install shtools
```

##### Install from source:
Clone or download the this repo, and then execute one (or both) of the following commands in the `shtools` directory:
```bash
make fortran
make fortran-mp  # for OpenMP Fortran routines
```

Further installation instructions and options can be found in the [web documentation](https://shtools.github.io/SHTOOLS/).
