Create a directory and a virtual environment:

mkdir test
cd test
python3 -m venv venv

Activate environment and install pyobs-core:

source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install pyobs-core

Create a test configuration test.yaml:

class: pyobs.modules.test.StandAlone
message: Hello world
interval: 10

And run it:

pyobs test.yaml

A few features require additional dependencies that aren't installed by default:

pip3 install "pyobs-core[full]"

adds support for things like INDI/telegram/matrix notifications, image processing (photutils, ccdproc, sep) and a few other optional integrations.

pip3 install "pyobs-core[gui]"

adds the PySide6/qfitswidget-based Qt widgets used by the camera GUIs shipped with the various pyobs-* camera modules (e.g. pyobs-asi, pyobs-qhyccd).

Installing pyobs-core provides three console scripts:

• pyobs runs a single module configuration in the foreground.
• pyobsd runs and manages one or more module configurations as background daemons.
• pyobsw is the Windows equivalent of pyobs.

Clone the repository and install it with uv, including the dev dependency group:

git clone https://github.com/pyobs/pyobs-core.git
cd pyobs-core
uv sync --all-extras --dev
