Using the LSST Science Pipelines in the terminal

The Notebook Aspect includes the LSST Science Pipelines, making it a convenient way to work with LSST’s software. The version of the LSST Science Pipelines that’s preinstalled corresponds to the image you selected at log in.

This page describes how to use the LSST Science Pipelines from the JupyterLab terminal.

Setting up the LSST Science Pipelines

  1. Open a terminal. Click the + button in the file browser (or type command-shift-L) and then click the Terminal icon.

  2. Load the LSST environment:

    source /opt/lsst/software/stack/loadLSST.bash
    
  3. Set up LSST Science Pipelines packages:

    setup lsst_distrib
    

Now you can run the Pipelines’s command-line tasks. For example:

processCcd.py -h

See Setting up installed LSST Science Pipelines in the LSST Science Pipelines documentation for more information about EUPS and the setup command.
