Installation and updates

Download and run the latest version from GitHub: Make sure you have git and pip installed, then run these terminal commands sequentially from within the folder where you wish your local copy of iSLAT to be:

git clone https://github.com/spexod/iSLAT
cd iSLAT
pip install -r requirements.txt

To launch iSLAT, simply type (if something goes wrong, you might just need to update some of your python packages):

cd iSLAT
python iSLAT-launch.py

Update to the latest version from GitHub: Remember to update the repository from GitHub from time to time (check at the top of the page to see if you're running an older version); from your local iSLAT folder, type on terminal:

git pull https://github.com/spexod/iSLAT

Installing iSLAT as a python package

iSLAT can now also be installed as a package using the following process

  • After installing from git, as shown above, run pip install -e . from the project root (i.e. the directory where the pyproject.toml is located)
  • You can also run pip install -e git://github.com/spexod/iSLAT.git@{ tag name }#egg={ desired egg name } (Untested)

In the future, you will be able to pip install as usual

Once installed as a python package, you can run the command iSLAT from the terminal and it will launch the GUI.
