Base installation

To install Firefly (on any operating system), please clone this GitHub repository :

$ git clone https://github.com/ageller/Firefly.git

Or, if you prefer, you can download the zip file and unpack it. However, you will not be able to pull updated versions of the code (or submit a pull request when you add a cool new feature!).

You will also require an internet browser; we recommend Firefox or Google Chrome. To import your own data into Firefly, you will also require python; we recommend installing Anaconda Python version 3.x .

Installing Firefly for use with yt

If you are using yt you will also need to either add the firefly_api that comes packaged with this repository to your PYTHONPATH environment variable so that yt will be able to find firefly_api.
