The following instructions provide a guide for installing pysatNASA and give some examples on how to use the routines
pysatNASA uses common Python modules, as well as modules developed by and for the Space Physics community. This module officially supports Python 3.7+.
| Common modules | Community modules |
|---|---|
| beautifulsoup4 | cdflib |
| lxml | pysat |
| netCDF4 | |
| numpy | |
| pandas | |
| requests | |
| xarray |
Currently, the main way to get pysatNASA is through github.
git clone https://github.com/pysat/pysatNASA.git
Change directories into the repository folder and run the setup.py file. For a local install use the "--user" flag after "install".
cd pysatNASA/
python setup.py install
pysatNASA is currently in an initial development phase and requires pysat 3.0.0.
The instrument modules are portable and designed to be run like any pysat instrument.
import pysat
from pysatNASA.instruments import icon_ivm
ivm = pysat.Instrument(inst_module=icon_ivm, inst_id='a')
Another way to use the instruments in an external repository is to register the instruments. This only needs to be done the first time you load an instrument. Afterward, pysat will identify them using the platform and name keywords.
import pysat
pysat.utils.registry.register('pysatNASA.instruments.icon_ivm')
ivm = pysat.Instrument('icon', 'ivm', inst_id='a')
