Installation

SpiceyPy is currently supported on Mac and Linux. To install, first simply clone the repository by running the following in your favorite shell:

git clone git@github.com:AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy.git

If you do not have git, you can also directly download the source code from the GitHub repo for SpiceyPy at https://github.com/AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy

To install the library, simply change into the root directory of the project and then run:

python setup.py install

The installation script will download the appropriate version of the SPICE toolkit for your system, and will build a shared library from the included static library files. Then the installation script will install SpiceyPy along with the generated shared library into your site-packages directory.
