zHunter is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) tool to visualize and perform basic manipulation of 1D and 2D astronomical spectra. It is originally developed to help find (hunt for) the redshift z of transient sources observed spectroscopically, hence its name.
If you use a virtual environment manager for python (recommended!), you can create an environment specific for zHunter with:
conda create -n zhunter python=3.10
Then don't forget to activate it when using zhunter with:
conda activate zhunter
$ pip install zhunter
If you want the latest development you can clone the project, move to the root of the project, switch to the dev branch and do:
$ pip install -e .
If the installation went smoothly, you can launch the GUI by simply typing in your terminal:
$ zhunter
