Hint

You can easy_install or pip_install pyspeckit:

pip install pyspeckit
easy_install pyspeckit

PySpecKit requires at least the basic scientific packages:

• numpy
• matplotlib
• mpfit is included
• scipy is optional. It is only required for RADEX grid interpolation

You’ll most likely want at least one of the following packages to enable file reading

• pyfits
• atpy (which depends on asciitable [github link] )
• hdf5

If you have pip (see <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyspeckit>), you can install with:

pip install pyspeckit

You can acquire the code with this clone command:

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/pyspeckit/pyspeckit.bitbucket.org pyspeckit
cd pyspeckit
python setup.py install

Or you can Download the latest tarball version, then extract and install using the standard python method:

wget https://bitbucket.org/pyspeckit/pyspeckit.bitbucket.org/get/tip.tar.gz
tar -xzf pyspeckit-pyspeckit.bitbucket.org-tip.tar.gz
cd pyspeckit-pyspeckit.bitbucket.org-tip
