Troubleshooting

Problems with installation

  • We've pre-packaged kima so that it can be easily installed with pip. If the installation fails on your machine, it could be because you're using an old version of a C++ compiler. Try running g++ --version to check the version (or the appropriate command for the compiler you're using).

  • If you can't get it to work, open an issue on GitHub and let's try to fix it.

Other issues

  • Segmentation faults
    If you run into a segmentation fault before kima even prints anything to the terminal, it might be due to an issue reading the data files. Check if the first three columns of the file(s) are numbers and not strings.

I think something is wrong...

Let us know in the issues if you think there is a problem or if something doesn't work as expected.

I could do with some help analysing RVs

kima is free software and provided as is within the terms of the LICENSE. However, we are available to help if we can! The issue tracker is a good place to ask questions about kima or the analysis of RV data, but feel free to contact us by email if needed.
