User Guide

This guide takes you from a fresh install to fitting your own data.

If you haven't used PhytKit before, read these pages in order:

1. Install PhytKit: build the pk command and, if you want it, the Python package.
2. Your first fit: fit an A–Ci curve from the sample data and read the result.
3. Using the command line: how commands, options, output and errors work.
4. Scripting with Python: the same tools from Python, plus fitting data already in memory.

Then go to Workflows for step-by-step recipes, such as correcting LI-600 readings or fitting pressure–volume curves. To understand what a model or the fitter is doing, read Concepts.
