Installation

The package is installable using PyPi through

or by downloading the source code from github and installing the requirements

git clone https://github.com/AdrianLundell/adrians-geotools.git
pip install -r adrians-geotools/requirements.txt

Installation is generally recommended within a seperate virtual environment to avoid version dependency problems, please see https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html for more information.

Usage

If the project was installed with PyPip the tool interfaces may be run directly in a terminal using their respective names.

EopTool
HelmertTool
IcrfTool

Otherwise, run them as modules using

python -m EopTool
python -m HelmertTool
python -m IcrfTool

assuming adrian-geotools to be your working directory.

To use the tools in your own python scripts simply import them as with any other library, e.g.

Example files are runneable only with the pypi installation, or by moving the files.

from HelmertTool.calc import calculate_parameters
import EopTool
