This is a Python based viewer application for solar physics. It features downloading, manipulating and analyzing data. The application is primarily build upon functionalities from SunPy and Matplotlib.

Check out the wiki page for the full documentation.

Start by installing PyQt5 and SunPy.

Using anaconda:

conda install -c conda-forge sunpy

PyQt5 should be already installed in the anaconda distribution, if not use: conda install pyqt. Make sure that the PyQt version is at least 5.10. To ensure that the newest version is installed execute: pip install pyqt5 --upgrade.

Using pip:

pip install sunpy[all]
pip install pyqt5

Next download the project (or clone the repository). In the project root directory execute:

python setup.py install

Afterwards the executable can be found in the scripts or bin folder of your Python installation (e.g.: ...\Anaconda3\Scripts\solarviewer.exe).

For additional installation information see:

• SunPy: [http://docs.sunpy.org/en/stable/guide/installation/index.html]
• PyQt: [http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt5/installation.html]

Start the application either by using the executable in the scripts folder or execute main.py located in the solarviewer directory. (Note: Mac OS users need to use pythonw to start the GUI from an anaconda distribution.)
