Description
CosmicPAHmfit is a python fitting tool. It performs a multi-component fit of the selected spectral feature using pseudo-Voigt functions (linear combination of a Gaussian curve and of a Lorentzian curve possibly modified by an asymmetry factor). It has a graphical interface to select the spectral feature of interest as well as the number of components to be included in the fit. For each component, it provides the evolution of the position, width (FWHM) and integrated intensity as a function of temperature.

Installation
``` pip install cosmicPAHmfit python3 cosmicPAHmfit
```
-It is recommanded to use a virtual environment copy/paste The pyenv version can be above 3.12 if preferred. (On windows pyenv is not working, proceed to installation of a compatible python (3.12-3.15). A virtual environment is not mandatory.)
``` pyenv install 3.12.3 pyenv virtualenv 3.12.3 venv pyenv activate venv ```
If the previous commands don't work. Install pyenv:
-On Linux To create a pyenv virtualenv for running an other python in a venv run the following blocks (copy/paste);
``` curl https://pyenv.run | bash echo 'export PYENV_ROOT=“$HOME/.pyenv”' » ~/.bashrc echo 'bin && export PATH=“$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH”' » ~/.bashrc echo 'eval “$(pyenv init -)”' » ~/.bashrc exec “$SHELL” sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev \ libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev \ xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python3-openssl git echo 'eval “$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)”' » ~/.bashrc
```
-On MAC if the previous install doesn't work copy/paste the following:
``` brew install pyenv-virtualenv export PYENV_ROOT=“$HOME/.pyenv” command -v pyenv >/dev/null || export PATH=“$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH” eval “$(pyenv init –path)” eval “$(pyenv init -)”
```
Usage
Run the following line
``` pyenv activate venv; python3 cosmicPAHmfit
```
to exit the pyenv venv you must use:
``` pyenv deactivate
```
If (venv) appears in the terminal, the pyenv venv is running. To run the application you can use directly:
``` python3 cosmicPAHmfit
```
