DAVE

DAVE stands for Data Analysis of Variable Events, which is a GUI built on top of the Stingray library. It is intended to be used by astronomers for time-series analysis in general, and analysis of variable sources in particular.

The goal is to enable scientific exploration of astronomical X-Ray observations and to analyse this data in a graphical environment.

Get Started

• Clone the project $ git clone https://github.com/StingraySoftware/dave
• Install a Python virtual env and a compatible version of node: $ source setup/setup.bash
• Run the application for development: $ setup/run_gui.bash
• Or run the build script for Linux_X64 $ setup/build_linux-x64.bash for getting the distributable at DAVE build folder.

You will see that there's plenty left to do!

NOTE: Mac OSX dependencies

• At least Homebrew installed (http://brew.sh/) or MacPorts installed (https://www.macports.org)
• If MacPorts will be used, you have two available options:
• 1 - Install LibMagic by yourself running this MacPorts command sudo /opt/local/bin/port install file on the terminal and then launch DAVE running DAVEApp.app/Contents/MacOS/DAVEApp.
• 2 - Launch DAVE as root running this command on the terminal: sudo DAVEApp.app/Contents/MacOS/DAVEApp
