Installation

spelunker can be installed using pip.

pip install spelunker

The following packages are required:

• numpy

• scipy

• matplotlib

• astropy

• jwst

• astroquery

• pandas

• ray (required for parallel processing of Gaussian fitting)

• tqdm

• astroplan (optional; for use with spelunker.load.guidestar_plot())

For Python 3.12, ray fails to install with Spelunker when using pip install spelunker. We recommend using Python 3.10 when installing ray and spelunker.

Additonally, you can refer to the GitHub repository for the source code.

JWST User Toolkit (jwstuser)

To use the mnemonics engineering telemetry features of Spelunker, the python toolkit jwstuser will need to be installed as well. Follow the instructions on https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwstuser to install jwstuser.
