Installation

Installation of Linefinder is straightforward using pip.

pip install linefinder --user

Note that the --user command is automatically included because it’s assumed you’re using a cluster.

Note

Linefinder uses both Python and HDF5. On clusters these modules usually have to be loaded before installation and use, e.g. module load python3 and module load phdf5 on Stampede. Linefinder works with both Python 2 and Python 3, but it’s recommended to use Python 3. (Don’t forget to only have one Python module loaded at once.)

Alternatively, you can install by cloning the git repository and then installing:

git clone git@github.com:zhafen/linefinder.git
cd linefinder
python setup.py install --user
