nectarchain 0.1.1

Analysis chain for the CTA MSTN NectarCAM prototype

nectarchain

Repository for the high level analysis of the NectarCAM data. The analysis is heavily based on ctapipe, adding custom code for NectarCAM calibration.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/cta-observatory/nectarchain.git
cd nectarchain
# or conda
mamba env create --name nectarchain --file environment.yml
mamba activate nectarchain
pip install .

If you are a developer, better you follow the same conventions as ctapipe, as described in https://cta-observatory.github.io/ctapipe/getting_started/index.html#developing-a-new-feature-or-code-change, and pip-install nectarchain in development (aka editable) mode:

pip install -e .

To enable support for DIRAC within the same environment, do the following after the installation of nectarchain described above:

# or conda
mamba activate nectarchain 
mamba install -c conda-forge dirac-grid
conda env config vars set X509_CERT_DIR=${CONDA_PREFIX}/etc/grid-security/certificates X509_VOMS_DIR=${CONDA_PREFIX}/etc/grid-security/vomsdir X509_VOMSES=${CONDA_PREFIX}/etc/grid-security/vomses
# the following is needed for the environment variables, used for DIRAC configuration, to be available:
mamba deactivate
mamba activate nectarchain
pip install CTADIRAC
# optional:
pip install COMDIRAC
dirac-configure

nectarchain is currently pinned to ctapipe version 0.12.
