dependencies? #1

Open Fingel opened 9 years ago

Fingel commented 9 years ago

What are the dependencies pylab and ephemerides? I can't find anything remotely resembling either of them in PyPi. Any help appreciated.

The ephemerides referred to is PyEphem, pip install ephem. It and Brandon Rhodes' other project Skyfield are both really cool!

Try apt-get install python-matplotlib to resolve your PyLab dependency. It is the same PyLab referred to if you ever inlined figures in an iPython notebook with ipython notebook --pylab inline or %pylab inline.

@Fingel did this resolve your dependency question?

Fingel commented 9 years ago

I believe it did, though I didn't have much success using the software. imagebook.py runs and I see output on the command line, but the resulting PDF is blank. I ended up finding starmap software called fchart and fixing it up to work with modern software: https://github.com/Fingel/fchart Though options are always good. Do you have success with pystaratlas?

@Fingel It worked a-okay the first time, but I should run with Vagrant and update the README. Thanks for the project link, that looks great. :)
