# HistAstro #
A Python package for historical-astronomy calculations of Sun, Moon and planets.
## Installation ##
This package can be installed using `pip install histastro`. This should automatically install the
dependency packages `numpy` and `fortranformat` if they haven't been installed already. If you are installing
by hand, you have to ensure these packages are installed as well.
### Data files ###
You will need to manually download the eight data files
[`VSOP87D.xxx`](http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/Cat?cat=VI/81) (click on FTP), one for each of the planets,
and save them in a directory of your choice (e.g. the subdirectory `data/` of your working directory). To
compute the Moon position, the file `moonposMeeus.csv` is needed, which can be downloaded from this page:
