ISIS 9.0.0 RC3 is now available

[amystamile-usgs]

How to install or update to 9.0.0 RC3

A guide to installing ISIS can be found in the Astro Software Docs.

If you already have a version of ISIS 4.0.0 or later installed in an anaconda environment, you can update to 9.0.0 RC3 by activating your existing isis conda environment and running conda update -c usgs-astrogeology/label/RC isis. This may require first updating python to version 3.12.

How to get access to 9.0.0 at the ASC

We are currently in the process of automating internal builds of ISIS onto Hovenweep.
