Installation

Seismostats is a Python library but doesn’t require extensive knowledge of Python. The statistical analysis of a catalog can be achieved easily without any coding expertise by following the step by step guide (10 Minutes to SeismoStats).

Required packages and libraries

We didn’t reinvent the wheel and rely on existing libraries and packages to perform basic routines.

GEOS

The plotting of the seismicity requires GEOS, a C/C++ library for computational geometry. If GEOS is not installed on your machine, you will need to get it, for example on a linux machine with

sudo apt-get libgeos-dev

or on a mac with

brew install geos
