How To Install python3-pysynphot on Kali Linux
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-pysynphot on Kali Linux.
What is python3-pysynphot
python3-pysynphot is:
pysynphot simulates photometric data and spectra as they are observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Passbands for standard photometric systems are available, and users can incorporate their own filters, spectra, and data. pysynphot user interface allows you to:
- Construct complicated composite spectra from various grids of model atmosphere spectra, parameterized spectrum models, and atlases of stellar spectrophotometry.
- Simulate observations.
- Query the resulting structures for quantities of interest, such as countrate, effective wavelength, effective stimulus, as well as the wavelength and flux arrays.
- Plot HST sensitivity curves and calibration target spectra.
- Compute photometric calibration parameters for any HST instrument mode.
pysynphot can help HST observers to perform cross-instrument simulations, to examine the transmission curve of the HST Optical Telescope Assembly (OTA), and spectra of HST calibration targets. Expert users can take advantage of the control and data structures available in Python to easily perform repetitive operations such as simulate the observation of multiple type of sources through multiple observing modes.
There are three methods to install python3-pysynphot 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 python3-pysynphot Using apt-get
Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.
sudo apt-get updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pysynphot using apt-get by running the following command:
sudo apt-get -y install python3-pysynphotInstall python3-pysynphot Using apt
Update apt database with apt using the following command.
sudo apt updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pysynphot using apt by running the following command:
sudo apt -y install python3-pysynphotInstall python3-pysynphot 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 updateAfter updating apt database, We can install python3-pysynphot using aptitude by running the following command:
sudo aptitude -y install python3-pysynphotHow To Uninstall python3-pysynphot on Kali Linux
To uninstall only the python3-pysynphot package we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get remove python3-pysynphotUninstall python3-pysynphot And Its Dependencies
To uninstall python3-pysynphot and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove python3-pysynphotRemove python3-pysynphot Configurations and Data
To remove python3-pysynphot configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y purge python3-pysynphotRemove python3-pysynphot configuration, data, and all of its dependencies
We can use the following command to remove python3-pysynphot configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:
sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge python3-pysynphotDependencies
python3-pysynphot have the following dependencies:
