We recommend you use Anaconda to install the necessary requirements for Starkit to work.
Once you have anaconda installed please make a new environment with the prerequisites for starkit in the following way. This will create an environment called `starkit`:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/starkit/starkit/master/starkit_env3.yml
# install using yml file into an environment called starkit.
# If you want to call it something else, or already have a starkit enivornment,
# you can change the -n argument
conda env create --file starkit_env3.yml -n starkit
source activate starkit
For now until a new version of Astropy comes out that fixes some problems of memory leak, you need to install specutils from our fork:
git clone https://github.com/followthesheep/specutils
cd specutils
python setup.py install
Then you can additionally install any other packages you like with:
conda install <your package>
Once this is installed, there are two ways to install starkit. For simple use:
pip install git+https://github.com/starkit/starkit
To download a full development version of starkit, please do:
git clone https://github.com/starkit/starkit
cd starkit
python setup.py develop

A few test grids can be found at https://starkit.github.io/starkit/io/available_grids.html. If you use any of these grids, please make sure that the grid from which it is created (like Phoenix grid) is also cited.
