# Third Party Dependencies

## Python Library Dependencies

All dependencies are included in [requirements.txt](../requirements.txt). Install via ```pip install -r requirements.txt```

If you install MPAD and its components on a Raspberry Pi, the skyfield package requires you to install ```apt-get install libatlas-base-dev``` as a separate dependency.

Dependent on your OS' flavor, you may be required to install the following additional packages: ```apt-get install libgeos-dev libopenjp2-7```
