nectarchain

Repository for the high level analysis of the NectarCAM data, a camera to equip the medium-sized telescopes of CTAO in its Northern site. The analysis is heavily based on ctapipe, adding custom code for NectarCAM calibration.

nectarchain is currently pinned to ctapipe version 0.19.

This code is under rapid development. It is not recommended for production use unless you are an expert or developer!

Installation for Users

nectarchain and its dependencies may be installed using the Anaconda or Miniconda package system. We recommend creating a conda virtual environment first, to isolate the installed version and dependencies from your main environment (this is optional).

The latest version of nectarchain can be installed via:

mamba install -c conda-forge nectarchain

or via:

pip install nectarchain

Note: to install a specific version of nectarchain, take look at the documentation here.

Note: mamba is a C++ reimplementation of conda and can be found here.

Note this is pre-alpha software and is not yet stable enough for end-users (expect large API changes until the first stable 1.0 release).

Developers should follow the development install instructions found in the documentation.
