If you have followed the installation steps for orb, you already have a conda environment named orb3.

conda activate orb3
pip install gitdb --no-deps 
pip install smmap --no-deps
pip install gitpython --no-deps
pip install cadcdata --no-deps
pip install cadcutils --no-deps

You will also need cfitsio. On Ubuntu you can install it with

sudo apt install libcfitsio5 libcfitsio-bin

Install orbs module

During ORB install you have already created a folder name orb-stable. You can thus do

cd path/to/orb-stable
git clone https://github.com/thomasorb/orbs.git
python setup.py install # not for developer

(developer only)

cd
echo '/absolute/path/to/orb-stable/orbs' >> miniconda3/envs/orb3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/conda.pth

Test it:

conda activate orb3 # you don't need to do it if you are already in the orb3 environment
python -c 'import orbs.core'
