SunPy is an open-source Python library for Solar Physics data analysis and visualization. Our homepage SunPy has more information about the project.

For some examples of using SunPy see our gallery, to see the latest changes in SunPy see our Changelog.

Installation

The recommended way to install SunPy is with conda. To install SunPy once conda is installed run the following two commands:

$ conda config --append channels conda-forge
$ conda install sunpy

For detailed installation instructions, see the installation guide in the SunPy docs.

Developing

If you want to develop SunPy you will need to install from GitHub. The best way to do this is to create a new conda environment and install the git version of SunPy in it:

Warning

Do not clone the sunpy repository into $HOME/sunpy. Depending on the operating system this location is used to store downloaded data files. This will cause conflicts later on, so the last argument (sunpy-git) on the git clone line will become the local folder name of the cloned repository.

$ conda config --append channels conda-forge
$ conda create -n sunpy-dev sunpy
$ conda activate sunpy-dev
$ conda remove sunpy
$ git clone https://github.com/sunpy/sunpy.git sunpy-git
$ cd sunpy-git
$ pip install --no-use-pep517 -e .[all,dev]

For detailed installation instructions, see the Newcomers' guide in the SunPy docs.

Usage

Here is a quick example of plotting an AIA image:

>>> import sunpy.map
>>> from sunpy.data.sample import AIA_171_IMAGE
>>> aia = sunpy.map.Map(AIA_171_IMAGE)
>>> aia.peek()
