Installation

To install the latest version of MUFASA, clone this repository and run the following in your local directory:

pip install -e .

Requirements

MUFASA runs on python > v3.8 and depends on the following packages:

• numpy >= v1.19.2
• scipy >= v1.7.3
• skimage >= v0.17.2
• spectral_cube >= v0.6.0
• pyspeckit >= v1.0.1
• reproject >= v0.7.1
• FITS_tools >= v0.2
• plotly >= v4.0

If you are running a later version of Python, for example, Python 3.11, you likely will have to install the latest versions of pyspeckit and FITS_tools directly from their respective GitHub repository. The setup.py for MUFASA >= v1.4.0 takes care of such a depdendcy automatically with pip installs.
