Installation

We provide Planetary I/O (plio) as a binary package via conda and for installation via the standard setup.py script.

Via Conda

1. Download and install the Python 3.x Miniconda installer. Respond Yes when prompeted to add conda to your BASH profile.

2. Bring up a command line and add the conda-forge channel to your channel list: conda config --add channels conda-forge. This adds an entry to your ~/.condarc file.

3. Install plio: conda install -c jlaura plio

4. To update plio: conda update -c jlaura plio

Via setup.py

This method assumes that you have the necessary dependencies already installed. The installation of dependencies can be non-trivial because of GDAL. We supply an environment.yml file that works with Anaconda Python’s conda env environment management tool.
