Installation

Requirements

Python

ml-stars has been tested on GNU/Linux, and macOS systems running Python 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, or 3.11 installed.

Also, although it is not strictly required, the usage of a virtualenv is highly recommended in order to avoid having conflicts with other software installed in the system where you are trying to run ml-stars.

Install using pip

The easiest and recommended way to install ml-stars is using pip:

pip install ml-stars

This will pull and install the latest stable release from PyPI.

Install from source

The source code of ml-stars can be downloaded from the Github repository

You can clone the repository and install it from source by running make install on the stable branch:

git clone git://github.com/sintel-dev/ml-stars
cd ml-stars
make install

If you are installing ml-stars in order to modify its code, the installation must be done from its sources, in the editable mode, and also including some additional dependencies in order to be able to run the tests and build the documentation. Instructions about this process can be found in the Contributing Guidelines guide.
