Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install pyspectral-bin on Kali Linux.

What is pyspectral-bin

pyspectral-bin is:

Reading and manipulaing satellite sensor spectral responses and the solar spectrum, to perform various corrections to VIS and NIR band data.

Given a passive sensor on a meteorological satellite PySpectral provides the relative spectral response (rsr) function(s) and offer some basic operations like convolution with the solar spectrum to derive the in band solar flux, for instance.

The focus is on imaging sensors like AVHRR, VIIRS, MODIS, ABI, AHI, OLCI and SEVIRI. But more sensors are included and if others are needed they can be easily added. With PySpectral it is possible to derive the reflective and emissive parts of the signal observed in any NIR band around 3-4 microns where both passive terrestrial emission and solar backscatter mix the information received by the satellite. Furthermore PySpectral allows correcting true color imagery for the background (climatological) atmospheric signal due to Rayleigh scattering of molecules, absorption by atmospheric gases and aerosols, and Mie scattering of aerosols.

This package provides utilities and executable scripts.

There are three methods to install pyspectral-bin on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install pyspectral-bin Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install pyspectral-bin using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install pyspectral-bin

Install pyspectral-bin Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install pyspectral-bin using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install pyspectral-bin

Install pyspectral-bin Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install pyspectral-bin using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install pyspectral-bin

How To Uninstall pyspectral-bin on Kali Linux
