Installation¶
Install with GIT¶
The code is hosted on github so the easiest method to perform an initial installation is with git:
git clone https://github.com/ismael2395/ShapeMeasurementFisherFormalism.git
This will create a new subdirectory ShapeMeasurementFisherFormalism containing the latest stable version of the complete package.
Experts who already have a correctly configured github account might prefer this alternative:
git clone git@github.com:ismael2395/ShapeMeasurementFisherFormalism.git
Update with GIT¶
You can update your local copy of the package at any time using:
cd ShapeMeasurementFisherFormalism
git update
Getting Started¶
Programs can be run directly from the top-level directory as long as you have the required packages already installed, e.g.:
cd ShapeMeasurementFisherFormalism
python generate.py --help
For an introduction to the available programs, see here and for examples of running these programs see here.
Required Packages¶
The following python packages are required by this package:
Note that numpy is available in recent anaconda or enthought canopy distributions. Installing GalSim is a more involved process, but well worth the effort. The lmfit package is only required if you will be running your own fits using the fitting.
