`spacerocks` is a software package that puts the solar system at your fingertips. 

The package is written in `Rust` and is exposed to `Python` using [`PyO3`](https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3).


## Python Installation

<!-- To install `spacerocks` from `PyPI`, run the following command:
```bash
pip install spacerocks
``` -->

To install from source, you will need to have `Rust` and `maturin` installed.
```bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
pip install maturin

git clone https://github.com/kjnapier/spacerocks
cd spacerocks
cd py-spacerocks
maturin develop --release
```

You will also need to have [`cspice`](https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/toolkit_C.html) installed on your system, and add its location to your path as
```bash
export CSPICE_DIR="/path/to/cspice"
```
You might also need to rename `cspice.a` to `libcspice.a` if you are on a Unix system.

We actually use very few of the `cspice` functions, so it should be possible to remove this dependency in the future. 
If you would like to help with this, please send a message!
