Installation

Python Environment

It is highly recommended users create a new Python environment with either venv or Anaconda. The pipeline supports Python versions 3.12 or newer. Once configured, activate the new Python environment.

Development Install

Recommended: Fork the repository liger_iris_pipeline under your account on GitHub, then clone your fork on your machine.

Enter the root folder and create a live installation with:

pip install -e .

The -e option uses the cloned repository’s code directly as the source, meaning it will not be installed into site-packages/.

Run the unit tests (optional)

First install the testing dependencies. Quotes are needeed for some shells as follows:

pip install -e ".[test]"

pytest -s
