Top-level packages to install¶
The LSST Science Pipelines are part of LSST’s EUPS package stack. This means that the Science Pipelines software is actually a collection of packages that you install and set up together. By specifying different top-level packages to the eups distrib install and setup commands, you can control the size of the software installation or add new capabilities.
This page describes the common top-level packages that make up the LSST Science Pipelines and related EUPS stacks.
