Documentation: https://sourcextractorplusplus.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Introduction.html

Installation

Conda

SourceXtractor++ is available on Anaconda Cloud for Linux and MacOSX

conda install -c conda-forge -c astrorama sourcextractor

We would recommend, however, to install it into its own environment.

conda create -n sourcex -c astrorama -c conda-forge sourcextractor
conda activate sourcex

Note: If you want the development version to test a future functionality or bugfix, it can also be done with conda:

conda create -n sourcex-dev -c astrorama/label/develop -c astrorama -c conda-forge sourcextractor
conda activate sourcex-dev

Fedora / CentOS

SourceXtractor++ is shipped directly in Fedora and CentOS. It can be installed simply as follows:

sudo dnf install sourcextractor++

We also build our own RPMs as part of our CI setup They can be installed adding a .repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d with the following content:

[Artifactory-Astrorama]
name=Artifactory-Astrorama
baseurl=https://astrorama.jfrog.io/artifactory/rpm/stable/fedora/$releasever/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

And install with

dnf install SourceXtractorPlusPlus
