Installation

Setting up

The following are basic steps to install and confirm that everything is working

Installing

Note

obsinfo does not work in Windows: use a Mac or Linux computer

  • Install obspy using their Conda Installation instructions

  • In your obspy environment, install obsinfo by typing pip install obsinfo

  • type pip list and obsinfo version to confirm that the version number is correct

Copy an example database into your own folder

  • Create a working directory

  • Go in there and run obsinfo setup -d DATABASE

A subfolder named DATABASE will be created. Inside will be a directory named instrumentation_files and under that will be many subdirectories with information files.

Create a StationXML file

Create a subnetwork file in your working directory:

obsinfo template subnetwork

Then run obsinfo xml on it:

obsinfo xml TEMPLATE.subnetwork.yaml

A StationXML file named “TEMPLATE.station.xml” should be created

You can also copy one of the example ``subnetwork`` files from your DATABASE/subnetwork_files/ directory to your working directory, and work on it.

Test the other command-line codes

Try the following lines, to verify that the other subcommands work:

> obsinfo schema TEMPLATE.subnetwork.yaml
> obsinfo print TEMPLATE.subnetwork.yaml
> obsinfo plot TEMPLATE.subnetwork.yaml
