Warning
We highly recommend installing into a fresh python environment, such as ones provided by the Anaconda Python distribution, to avoid problems. If you experience issues after installing the Pandeia Engine, consider starting again with a fresh python installation and a clean new set of data files.

...

Download and untar the files to a suitable location.

Note
titleInstalling both data packages

You CAN untar both sets of files to the same location and run calculations for Webb and Roman; all files present in both packages are identical, except for the VERSION_PSF file (Roman PSFs are regenerated with WebbPSF 1.0)


Environment variable: $pandeia_refdata must point to the location of the top of the data file tree (the directory containing the VERSION_PSF file)
