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 2.7 or later
• Numpy (version 1.7 or later)
• Scipy
• Cython

It is strongly recommended that you use optimized versions of Numpy and Scipy compiled against a multithreaded BLAS library such as the Intel MKL or for AMD chips ACML.

For full functionality there are other packages which are required:

• Healpy (version 1.8 or later)
• h5py

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]
