`satellite-constellation` command not found after installation #4

Open astrojuanlu opened 3 years ago

Hi, thanks for publishing this code!

I tried running the satellite-constellation --test command as instructed in the README, however it's not found after pip install -r requirements.txt && pip install ..

I think the reason for that is that it's not specified as a console_scripts entry point in setup.py, as advised by the setuptools documentation.

On the other hand, $ python -m satellite_constellation.main works just fine and creates the walker_plot.png and flower_plot.png two directories above.

For your information, I am working on something similar to this work as part of the OpenSatCom initiative by European Space Agency and Libre Space Foundation. The code will live here https://gitlab.com/astrojuanlu/constellation-designer for now, there is only a humble attempt at reproducing the original Walker 1970 paper, but my idea is to create a Jupyter notebook that will serve as a graphical user interface to design the constellation, use some OMM exporting solution to export those orbits in text form, and poliastro for visualization.
