Installation

From PyPI

pip install reASITIC                 # base library
pip install reASITIC[plot]           # + matplotlib for plotting helpers

Development install

git clone https://github.com/AL-255/reASITIC.git
cd reASITIC
pip install -e ".[dev,docs]"

The [dev] extra installs the testing toolchain (pytest, pytest-cov, ruff, mypy, matplotlib). The [docs] extra installs Sphinx, Furo and the MyST parser used to build this site.

Runtime requirements

Package	Minimum version
Python	3.10
NumPy	1.24
SciPy	1.10
matplotlib	3.7 (optional)

reASITIC follows NEP 29 for its Python and NumPy support window.

Verifying the install

reasitic --version
python -c "import reasitic; print(reasitic.summary())"

Optional: legacy binary

The original 1999 ASITIC binary (asitic.linux.2.2) ships in the run/ directory of the upstream repository. The cross-validation harness under reasitic.validation.binary_runner drives it through xvfb-run to compare geometric outputs against the Python port. The binary is not required for normal use; it is only used by the test suite under tests/test_validation_binary.py, which auto-skips if the binary is missing.
