Tools for the Fall 2018 semester of ASTR3400: Research Methods (The Henrietta Project). The documentation for using these tools, along with some examples and exercises, are located over at zkbt.github.io/henrietta/docs.

If you're working on the scorpius computers at SBO, you should be able to access these tools simply by running source henrietta from a UNIX prompt.

If you're working on your own computer, you should be able to install this by running

pip install henrietta

from a UNIX prompt. As we add more code to this package, you may need to upgrade the version that is installed on your computer. To upgrade, run

pip install henrietta --upgrade

instead. That will make sure it always grabs the latest version of the code.

If you want to be able to modify the code yourself, please also feel free to fork/clone this repository onto your own computer and install directly from that editable package. For example, this might look like:

git clone https://github.com/zkbt/henrietta.git
cd henrietta/
pip install -e .

This will link the installed version of the henrietta package to your local repository. Changes you make to the code in the repository should be reflected in the version Python sees when it tries to import henrietta.

This package was written by Zach Berta-Thompson, Will Waalkes, and Jessica Roberts.
