This code provides a python interface for the LFmap galaxy radio sky map generator. For more about LFmap read here. With the pylfmap class one can use all the features provided by the healpy (or other relevant python packages).
The most convenient install method is to use pip which retrieves the latest version of the software and also takes care of any missing dependencies:
pip install pylfmap
or install using the git:
pip install git+https://github.com/F-Tomas/pylfmap
Alternatively, clone the directory and run the setup.py:
git clone https://github.com/F-Tomas/pylfmap
python setup.py install
During the installation, the original C++ LFmap will be downloaded, and on the first run, sky model data in the range from 30 to 80 MHz with 0.1 MHz spacing will be generated.
