Installation

To install kosmatau3d, download the git repo, then simply install using,

$ pip install ./kosmatau3d

This will install kosmatau3d and most of its dependencies. There are a couple of packages that will not be installed, such as healpy. It is only used in the comparison submodule, which is used to process observation files and compare with the synthetic observations from kosmatau3d [1]. You will need to install these or similar packages to use this submodule. healpy is the python port of the well-kown and maintained HEALPix code. It only installs well in a Linux environment, so that is why it is not a strict dependency. Ideally the user is in a linux environment, so downloading this dependency is not an issue.

Footnotes

This submodule anyways senseless outside of the application of kosmatau3d to model the Galactic cooling lines.
