Installation

There are two steps for installing ExoTiC-LD.

1. install the package with pip:

   pip install exotic-ld
   

2. Download the stellar models and instrument throughputs from this zenodo link. Make sure that you download the version that matches the exotic-ld package version.

   The downloaded and unzipped directory structure should have the following layout:

   exotic_ld_data/
   ├── Sensitivity_files/
   ├── kurucz/
   ├── stagger/
   ├── mps1/
   ├── mps2/
   

   Some of the stellar grids are very large in size, and so you can choose to download only the stellar grids that you require. The instrument throughputs directory, “Sensitivity_files”, must always be included.

   You can place the downloaded directory anywhere on your machine, you’ll just need to pass the path, “path/to/exotic_ld_data”, as an input when running the code.
