MacOS Install

Basic Instructions

These instructions should work for most users. If they don't work for you, try the longer version below.

• Open a terminal window and run the following command to install the developer tools. This may take some time.

xcode-select --install

• Download and install Anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual. Select the default options throughout unless you expect to be doing Python development.

• In a terminal window, run the following commands:

conda create --name RMS python=3.7
conda activate RMS
git clone https://github.com/CroatianMeteorNetwork/RMS.git
pip install -r RMS/requirements.txt
pip install rawpy
conda install -c conda-forge opencv
conda install pyqt

And to test that it all worked:

cd RMS
conda activate RMS
python -m Utils.SkyFit2 --help

this should compile the code and print instructions for how to use SkyFit2.

Note: Each time you want to use RMS, you must activate the Python virtual environment in a Terminal window and change directory into the RMS folder:

cd RMS
conda activate RMS
