Welcome to pyhdust documentation!

Analysis tools for multi-technique astronomical data and hdust models. About the hdust code, see Carciofi & Bjorkman (2006, 2008).

Pyhdust is currently at version 1.5.11.

pyhdust should be independent of plataform (Linux, Mac, Windows) and compatible with any version of Python (3.6+).

How to install/uninstall

I strongly suggest users to use the pip plataform:

pip install pyhdust

If your are not the root of the system, add the flag --user to the command above. Dependencies (as filters efficiency and stellar evolution models) are included in the subdirectories.

Warning

Never combine sudo with --user! Otherwise you will face critical permission problems for your packages!

Note

To use the pyhdust scripts, the binaries path of your pip installation directory must be in system PATH. If you don’t find them, adapt the following command to your $HOME/.bashrc:

PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin/

pyhdust requires numpy and six modules. Optionally, it makes use of:

  • astropy

  • emcee

  • matplotlib

  • pandas

  • pIDLy

  • scipy

  • wget

  • xmltodict

To only update the package:

pip install -U --no-deps pyhdust

-U forces the upgrade and --no-deps do not reinstall the dependent packages.

To uninstall it:

pip uninstall pyhdust

Alternative procedures

See the Alternative download/installation page.

How to use the modules
