Installation

Pre-compiled binaries

Pre-compiled binaries of the ARTS interface for macOS and Linux including the ARTS engine for performing RT simulations can be installed in a Miniforge3 environment from the rttools channel:

mamba install -c rttools-dev pyarts3

Warning

The pyarts package was created for use with Miniforge3. If you are using Anaconda, you will need to install it into a separate environment with the conda-forge channel:

conda create -n arts -c conda-forge -c rttools-dev pyarts3

But compatiblity issues remain, e.g. it has been reported that the package fails to install on Intel Macs with Anaconda. Therefore, we recommend to use Miniforge3.

Building from source

See top level README.md at our github repository. By default, this shows ARTS 3. Use the dropdown menu to select branch or tagged versions if you want to build ARTS 2.6 or older.

ARTS 3 is under active development. Do not expect code compatibility between any two patches.
