NOS-T Tools Installation

The best way to get the NOS-T tools library and example codes is to clone the NOS-T git repository and install the tools. There are several ways to clone a git repository. Here is a good description of some of these methods.

Cloning the Repository

First, you need to clone the repository from the following link:

https://github.com/code-lab-org/nost-tools

Installing NOS-T tools requires pip version 23 or greater. Install via

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then, from a command prompt, navigate to the root directory (the location where you cloned the library) and install by running the following command:

pip install -e .

If you want to install additional libraries required to run the examples, run:

pip install -e .[examples]

Installing the Python Packages

Following the instructions above will automatically install the python packages that NOS-T depends on to run. These package dependencies can otherwise be found in the project specification.

Next Step

The hands-on tutorial will walk you through the FireSat+ test suite and is a good next step. It starts with the installation process given here and continues with a NOS-T System description.
