JWST requires Python 3.6 or above and a C compiler for dependencies.
The jwst
package can be installed into a virtualenv or conda environment via pip
. We recommend creating a fresh environment with only python installed. Via conda:
conda create -n jwst_env python=3.7
conda activate jwst_env
To install a released (tagged) version, you can install directly from Github. To install tagged release jwst 0.14.2
:
pip install git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst@0.14.2
The latest development version (from master
) can also be installed from Github:
pip install git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst
As can a particular commit hash:
pip install git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst@3f03323c
We still package our releases to DMS via environment snapshots that specify the exact versions of all packages to be installed.
The latest release 0.14.2 may be installed in two stages by running the following commands:
Stage 1:
conda create -n jwstdp-0.14.2 --file https://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/jwstdp/0.14.2/[env_file]
source activate jwstdp-0.14.2
Where [env_file]
= conda_python_stable-deps.txt
for Linux
and [env_file]
= conda_python_macos-stable-deps.txt
for Macos
Stage 2:
pip install -r https://ssb.stsci.edu/releases/jwstdp/0.14.2/[pkgs_file]
Where [pkgs_file]
= reqs_stable-deps.txt
for Linux
and [pkgs_file]
= reqs_macos-stable-deps.txt
for Macos
Each such delivery has its own installation instructions which may be found in the corresponding release documentation linked from this page: https://github.com/astroconda/astroconda-releases/tree/master/jwstdp
The version values shown there are the JWSTDP releases available to install. Installation procedures for each version are in the README.md file for that version. See the "Software vs DMS build version map" table below for a list of version tags corresponding to particular releases.
The installation procedures may change from time to time, so consulting the documentation page for the specific version in question is the best way to get that version installed.
Fork and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst
cd jwst
Note: python setup.py install
and python setup.py develop
commands do not work.
Install from your local checked out copy as an "editable" install:
pip install -e .
If you want to run the tests and/or build the docs, you can make sure those dependencies are installed too:
pip install -e .[test]
pip install -e .[docs]
pip install -e .[test,docs]
Note: If you wish to install directly from github, but also include the extra dependencies, the syntax is as follows:
pip install "jwst[test] @ git+https://github.com/spacetelescope/jwst"
Need other useful packages in your development environment?
pip install ipython flake8 pytest-xdist
Inside the STScI network, the pipeline works with default CRDS setup with no modifications. To run the pipeline outside the STScI network, CRDS must be configured by setting two environment variables:
export CRDS_PATH=$HOME/crds_cache
export CRDS_SERVER_URL=https://jwst-crds.stsci.edu
Documentation (built daily from master
) is available at:
https://jwst-pipeline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
To build the docs yourself, clone this repository and build the documentation with:
pip install -e .[docs]
cd docs
make html
make latexpdf

Unit tests can be run via pytest
. Within the top level of your local jwst
repo checkout:
pip install -e .[test]
pytest
Need to parallelize your test runs over 8 cores?
pip install pytest-xdist
pytest -n 8
Latest regression test results can be found here (STScI staff only):
https://plwishmaster.stsci.edu:8081/job/RT/job/JWST/
The test builds start at 6pm local Baltimore time Monday through Saturday on jwcalibdev
.
To run the regression tests on your local machine, get the test dependencies and set the environment variable TEST_BIGDATA to our Artifactory server (STSci staff members only)
pip install -e .[test]
export TEST_BIGDATA=https://bytesalad.stsci.edu/artifactory
To run all the regression tests:
pytest --bigdata jwst/tests_nightly
You can control where the test results are written with the --basetemp=<PATH>
arg to pytest
. Note that pytest
will wipe this directory clean for each test session, so make sure it is a scratch area.
If you would like to run a specific test, find its name or ID and use the -k
option:
pytest --bigdata --basetemp=<PATH> jwst/tests_nightly -k image3_pipeline
If developers need to update the truth files in our nightly regression tests, there are instructions in the repository wiki.
