Installation

This page covers how to install the pyFLD package.

Requirements

Required:

• Python 3.9 or later

• NumPy

• Astropy

• SciPy

Optional:

• numexpr — strongly recommended if you intend to use stellar irradiation; speeds up the irradiation-related computations significantly. Install with pip install numexpr.

• optool — a command-line tool for computing dust opacities. Useful for generating frequency-dependent opacity tables in RADMC3D format, which can be read directly by fld.tools.parse_optool_file.

Installing via git

You can install the package via GitHub with:

git clone https://github.com/alexziab/pyFLD.git
cd pyFLD
pip install .

This will make pyFLD available for import in your Python environment.
