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
cd RMS
python -m Utils.SkyFit2 --help

The last command should compile the code and print instructions for how to use SkyFit2.

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:

conda activate RMS
cd RMS
