Project Setup

Prerequisites

• Python3: [download link] | [Windows setup] | [Mac setup]

Installation

We recommend creating a python environment

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/JAVA-IMAGING/python-imaging.git

2. Navigate to project directory

   cd ./python-imaging

3. Install required packages

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install PySiril python -m pip install pysiril-0.0.15-py3-none-any.whl

   This is a separate step because the package needs to be downloaded directly from the .whl file within this repository, provided by Siril

5. Build project dependencies

   pip install -e .

   This step fixes issues when sibling packages try to import from one another.
   Consider a project management tool in the future, but this should suffice for now.

Extra notes:

If your IDE reports missing imports after performing the above steps, clear your Python cache and reload. We've come across this issue several times when using Visual Studio Code

Usage

1. Navigate to project directory

   cd ./python-imaging

2. Execute the help command python src/app.py --help or python src/app.py -h

3. Usage: app.py [-h] [-dt] [-ft] [-w] drk_path flt_path trg_path

   positional arguments:

   • drk_path path to directory containing dark frames
   • flt_path path to directory containing flat frames
   • trg_path path to target image for processing

   options:

   • -h, --help show this help message and exit
   • -dt, --dark_type filter dark frames from drk_path
   • -ft, --flat_type filter flat frames from flt_path
   • -w, --write write every FITS file created to disk
