EventSource Plugin for ctapipe, able to read LST zfits files and calibration them to R1 as needed for ctapipe tools.

Since version 0.19, ctapipe_io_lst is on conda-forge, which is the easiest way to install it, since the protozfits dependency is offered pre-compiled for Linux and mac OS (including arm64).

To install into an exisiting environtment, just do:

# or conda
$ mamba install -c conda-forge ctapipe_io_lst

For development, create a new environment and run the development install:

conda env create -n lstenv -f environment.yml
conda activate lstenv
pip install -e .

ctapipe_io_lst is also on PyPI, but note that the protozfits dependency only has wheels for Linux, so you'd need to compile from source on mac OS.

To run the tests, a set of non-public files is needed. If you are a member of CTA, ask one of the project maintainers for the credentials and then run

./download_test_data.sh
