        =======================
        
        Comments are very, very much welcome. Please comment by `making a new
        issue on Github <https://github.com/mwcraig/reducer/issues>`__ (if, by
        chance, a reasonably senior academic is using this, you can send
        feedback by email; anyone else should *really* create a github account
        so you can make an issue :)).
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        
        **Note about IPython/Jupyter version support:** Version 0.3 and higher of
        reducer works with IPython 4/Jupyter. Version 0.1 works with IPython 2, and
        Version 0.2.x work with IPython 3 or IPython 4/Jupyter. No improvements to
        ``reducer`` will be backported to version 0.1.x/IPython 2 or to 0.2.x/IPYthon
        3. Feel free to fork if you need that!
        
        You need python (2.7, or 3.4 or higher) and the `SciPy
        stack <http://scipy.org>`__. The easiest way to the get the full stack
        is from a distribution like `anaconda <http://continuum.io>`__.
        
        On Windows it will be easiest to install using the Anaconda Python
        distribution and ``conda`` (because everything has been compiled for you).
        
        To install using ``conda``:
        
        ::
        
            conda install -c conda-forge -c astropy reducer
        
        
        If you prefer, you can install with pip in any python distribution (but may
        end up compiling some of the dependencies):
        
        ::
        
            pip install reducer
        
        
        You can, if you want, grab the source on github (there is a "Download as
        ZIP" link on the right you can use if you don't want to mess git),
        change into the source directory, and run ``python setup.py install``.
        
        .. note::
        
            `reducer` comes with a small set of images; the download size is roughly
            13MB. It is provided so you can try the notebook without needing your own
            data. If you run the notebook as-is then the sample images will get
            expanded to 300MB in a temporary directory.
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        This package doesn't magically do your reduction for you. Instead, it
        creates a template `jupyter notebook <http://jupyter.org>`_ that leads
        you through data reduction. When you are done
        you have reduced your data and *you have a notebook that allows you or
        someone else to reproduce your work*.
        
        In a terminal, navigate to the directory where you want to keep the
        notebook for doing your reduction (which does not have to be the same
        directory where the data is, though it can be), then type::
        
            reducer
        
        This will create a new template notebook. To open the notebook, type
        in a terminal::
        
            jupyter notebook
        
        A browser window will open; the notebook you want is named "reduction.ipynb".
        Click on it, then just do what it says in the notebook and reduced data (and
        someday photometry!) will be yours.
        
        Under the hood
        ==============
        
        If you look at the source code you'll notice pretty quickly that there
        is no actual *science* code. Think of this as the glue that brings
        together a couple related packages:
        
        -  `ccdproc <http://github.com/astropy/ccdproc>`__ for the actual data
           reduction.
        -  `astropy <http://github.com/astropy>`__ for lots of the underlying
           structure .
