Installation

You need Python 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 to run GalaxyChop.

Installing with pip

Make sure that the Python interpreter can load GalaxyChop code. The most convenient way to do this is to use virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper, and pip.

After setting up and activating the virtualenv, run the following command:

$ pip install galaxychop

That should be it all.

Installing the development version

If you’d like to be able to update your GalaxyChop code occasionally with the latest improvements and bug fixes, follow these instructions:

Make sure that you have Git installed and that you can run its commands from a shell. (Enter git help at a shell prompt to test this.)

Check out GalaxyChop main development branch like so:

$ git clone https://github.com/vcristiani/galaxy-chop.git

This will create a directory galaxy-chop in your current directory.

Then you can proceed to install with the commands

$ cd galaxy-chop
$ pip install -e .
