The Open Space Toolkit (OSTk) is a collection of versatile libraries for aerospace engineering use, available in:
- C++ – the reference implementation, for portability and performance.
- Python – via C++ bindings, formidable for interactive use and prototyping.
Want to get started? This is the simplest and quickest way:
This will automatically start a JupyterLab environment in your web browser with Open Space Toolkit libraries and example notebooks ready to use. Nothing to download or install! 🚀
Alternatively, you can run a pre-installed OSTk environment on your local machine. This process has the following requirements:
The following commands will start a JupyterLab server within a Docker container where the OSTk components are already installed:
# clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/open-space-collective/open-space-toolkit.git && cd open-space-toolkit
# Run the jupyter server inside of Docker
make run-jupyter
Once the container is running, access http://localhost:8888/lab and create a Python 3 Notebook.
