Display spectra and estimate their redshifts.
Project description
REDMOST
REDshift Measurement Of SpecTra is a Qt6 Graphical User Interface (GUI) to do spectroscopic redshift measurements for 1D spectra. If redrock is correcly installed, it cat be used as a backend to measure the redshift.
Installation
This is a python program based on Qt6 and supports both PyQt6 and PySide6 backends. Since it is a good practice to not mess up the system-wide python environment, you should install this program in a virtual environment. If you don't have a virtual environment yet, you can create one with the command
python -m venv env_name
For example, to create a virtual environment called "astro", you can use the command
python -m venv astro
and you can activate it with
. astro/bin/activate
From this GIT repository
To install the bleeding edge version, first clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/mauritiusdadd/redmost.git
cd redmost
and then run pip specifyng which Qt backend you want to use:
- for PyQt6:
pip install .[pyqt6]
- for PySide6:
pip install .[pyside6]
Run
To run the program just run the command redmost
in a terminal
