Note on the use of molecfit

SLOPpy supports both the old version 1.5.x (available as a stand-alone program) and the latest version >4 through ESO esorex.

To use version 1.5.x, you have to use the molecfit modules marked with v1, and specify the installation path under the molecfit section:

pipeline:
  - ...
  - telluric_molecfit_v1_preparation
  - telluric_molecfit_v1_coadd
  - ...
molecfit:
  installation_path: /Applications/molecfit/bin/
  ...

For the newest version, drop the v1 in the module names and substitute the installation_path keyword with the new `esorex_exec' keyword, as in this example:

pipeline:
  - ...
  - telluric_molecfit_preparation
  - telluric_molecfit_coadd
  - ...
molecfit:
  esorex_exec: esorex
  ...

This new keyword specify the location of the esorex executable: if the command is avaialble system-wide (i.e., you can launch esorex by simply writing esorex in your terminal), then it is not necessary to specify the full path of the excutable.
