# sls_detector: Python interface to slsDetectorPackage
Python interface to the Sls Detector Software.
### Documentation ###
Sphinx built documentation is available here:
[https://slsdetectorgroup.github.io/sls_detector/](https://slsdetectorgroup.github.io/sls_detector/)
### Install using conda ###
Binaries are available using conda. This installs both the detector software and the Python
interface.
```bash
#Add conda channels
conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels slsdetectorgroup
#Install latest version
conda install sls_detector
#Install specific version
conda install sls_detector=3.0.1
#Scientific Linux 6 version (GLIBC2.12)
conda install sls_detector=SL6_3.0.1
```
### Building using conda-build ###
Needs [sls_detector_software](https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/sls_detector_software) installed.
```bash
#Clone source code
git clone https://github.com/slsdetectorgroup/sls_detector.git
#Checkout the branch needed
git checkout 3.0.1
#Build and install the local version
conda-build sls_detector
conda install --use-local sls_detector
```
### Developer build ###
IF you if you are developing and are making constant changes to the code it's a bit cumbersome
to build with conda and install. Then an easier way is to build the C/C++ parts in the package
directory and temporary add this to the path
```bash
#in path/to/sls_detector
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
```
Then in your Python script
```python
import sys
sys.path.append('/path/to/sls_detector')
from sls_detector import Detector
```
