Installation

Requirements

IridiumSBD is a Python package, thus requiring a running Python in your machine. It is compatible with Python 2 and 3, but I strongly recommend you to use Python 3 if you can.

IridiumSBD requires the Python package Click. The installation with pip automatically takes care of the requirements, but to install from the source it is necessary to download and install Click first.

Stable release

To install Iridium Short Burst Data, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install iridiumSBD

This is the preferred method to install Iridium Short Burst Data, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

If you don’t have pip installed, this Python installation guide can guide you through the process.
