cora - Cosmology in the Radio Band

A package for simulating skies for 21cm Intensity Mapping, with a lot of bonus utility code for dealing with Healpix maps, spherical co-ordinates etc.

This package has many dependencies. The following are essential:

  • Python <http://www.python.org/>_ 2.7 or later
  • Numpy <http://scipy.org/>_ (version 1.7 or later)
  • Scipy <http://scipy.org/>_
  • Cython <http://cython.org/>_

It is strongly recommended that you use optimized versions of Numpy and Scipy compiled against a multithreaded BLAS library such as the Intel MKL <http://www.intel.com/software/products/mkl/>_ or for AMD chips ACML <http://developer.amd.com/libraries/acml>_.

For full functionality there are other packages which are required:

  • Healpy <https://github.com/healpy/healpy>_ (version 1.8 or later)
  • h5py <http://www.h5py.org/>_

As there are several Cython modules which need to be built the setup.py must be run in some form. Either the standard ::

$ python setup.py install [--user]

or to develop the package ::

$ python setup.py develop [--user]
