Installation

HAYSTAC can be run on either macOS or Linux based systems, and the source code is available on github.

The recommended way to install haystac, and all if its dependencies, is via the [mamba](https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) package manager (a fast replacement for [conda](https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/index.html)).

You can install haystac using conda, however, it will take significantly longer to install and analyses will run slower.

Install mamba

If you do not have either mamba or conda already installed, please refer to the [install instructions]( https://mamba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html) for mambaforge.

If you have conda installed, but not mamba, then install mamba into the base environment:

conda install -n base -c conda-forge mamba

Then use mamba to install haystac into a new environment:

mamba create -c conda-forge -c bioconda -n haystac haystac

And activate the environment:

conda activate haystac

We recommend that you install haystac into a new environment to avoid dependency conflicts with other software.

Clone from github:
