Xarray Radio Astronomy Data IO is still in development.

It is recommended to use the conda environment manager from miniforge to create a clean, self-contained runtime where XRADIO and all its dependencies can be installed:

conda create --name xradio python=3.12 --no-default-packages
conda activate xradio

XRADIO can now be installed using:

pip install xradio

This will also install the minimal dependencies for XRADIO. To install the minimal dependencies and the interactive components (JupyterLab) use:

pip install "xradio[interactive]"

To enable conversion from MSv2 to MSv4 use (this only works for Linux):

pip install "xradio[python-casacore]"

📝 On macOS it is required to pre-install python-casacore using conda install -c conda-forge python-casacore.

To be able to run tests:

pip install "xradio[test]"

Multiple-dependencies can be installed using:

pip install "xradio[interactive,python-casacore,test]"
