Kosmorro is a program that calculates your astronomical ephemerides.

## Installation

### Production environment

If you want to give a try to Kosmorro, head to [its official download page](https://kosmorro.space/cli/download/) and follow the instructions that correspond to your operating system.
Installing Kosmorro is documented on [the official website](https://kosmorro.space/cli/download/). Just select your operating system and follow the instructions!

### Development environment

Before you run Kosmorro in your development environment, check you have installed these programs on your system:

- Python ≥ 3.8
- PIP3
- [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/)
To contribute to Kosmorrolib, you will need [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org), a software to manage the project from development to publishing.

Clone this repository and run `poetry install` to install all the dependencies.
Then, run Kosmorro by invoking `poetry run kosmorro`.
Clone this repository and run `poetry install` to install the dependencies.
And that's all, your development environment is ready!

For comfort, you may want to invoke `poetry shell` first and then just `kosmorro`.
To run Kosmorro, invoke `poetry run kosmorro`. For comfort, you may also want to invoke `poetry shell`, which will expose the `kosmorro` command directly.

## Using Kosmorro

Using Kosmorro is as simple as invoking `kosmorro` in your terminal!

By default, it will give you the current Moon phase and, if any, the events that will occur today.
To get the rise, culmination and set of the objects of the Solar system, you will need to give it your position on Earth: get your current coordinates (with [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org) for instance), and give them to Kosmorro by invoking it with the following parameters: `--latitude=X --longitude=Y` (replace `X` by the latitude and `Y` by the longitude).

Kosmorro has a lot of available options. To get a list of them, run `kosmorro --help`, or read its manual with `man kosmorro`.

Note: the first time it runs, Kosmorro will download some important files needed to make the computations. They are stored in a cache folder named `.kosmorro-cache` located in your home directory (`/home/<username>` on Linux, `/Users/<username>` on macOS).

### Exporting to PDF

Kosmorro can export the computation results to PDF files, but this feature requires first that you install some additional dependencies.
You can find documentation about this on [Kosmorro's website](https://kosmorro.space/cli/generate-pdf/).
Kosmorro has a lot of available options to get exactly what you want, including the possibility to get planets rise and set. To get a list of them, run `kosmorro --help`, or read its manual with `man kosmorro`. You can also find usage examples in [the `tldr` manual](https://tldr.sh) with [`tldr kosmorro`](https://tldr.inbrowser.app/pages/common/kosmorro).
