Installation

Conda (Recommended)

Drizzlepac is installed when you install the stenv conda environment (a replacement for astroconda). Select your desired release and follow the instructions on the stenv installation page.

Install with pip

$ pip install git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/drizzlepac.git

The option --no-use-pep517 MAY be required in order to correctly build the C extensions with pip versions up to 22.2, after commenting out the build-backend from the pyproject.toml config file.

Support for installing using pip is still evolving, so use of this command is provided on an experimental basis for now.
