Installation

The easiest (and recommended) method to install stark is by using pip as the following:

pip install stark-package

Alternatively, the users can download the latest developement version of stark directly from the cource by doing:

git clone https://github.com/Jayshil/stark.git
cd stark
python setup.py install

Dependencies

stark has some very basic dependencies on numpy, scipy and astropy, which should already be installed if you are using an Anaconda installation. Furthermore, stark uses photutils (which is an optional dependency) package to estimate 2D background used in some background subtraction methods implemented in stark.
