ctapipe_io_lst

EventSource Plugin for ctapipe, able to read LST zfits files and calibration them to R1 as needed for ctapipe tools.

Since version 0.19, ctapipe_io_lst is on conda-forge, which is the easiest way to install it, since the protozfits dependency is offered pre-compiled for Linux and mac OS (including arm64).

To install into an exisiting environtment, just do:

# or conda
$ mamba install -c conda-forge ctapipe_io_lst

For development, create a new environment and run the development install:

conda env create -n lstenv -f environment.yml
conda activate lstenv
pip install -e .

ctapipe_io_lst is also on PyPI, but note that the protozfits dependency only has wheels for Linux, so you'd need to compile from source on mac OS.

Test Data

To run the tests, a set of non-public files is needed. If you are a member of CTA, ask one of the project maintainers for the credentials and then run
