Introduction

Tool for generating dark matter skymaps.

Installation

The easiest way to install dmsky is with pip:

# For an initial installation
pip install dmsky

# update just dmsky
pip install dmsky --no-deps --upgrade --ignore-installed

# update dmsky and all dependencies
pip install dmsky --upgrade

You can also download the latest release or the bleeding edge of the source code from github:

git clone https://github.com/kadrlica/dmsky.git
cd dmsky
python setup.py install

Usage

The hope is that dmsky will provide a simple and transparent interface towards making dark matter sky maps. Functionality is provided through the Python API, though there should eventually be a simple command-line interface. Several examples can be found in the examples and tests directories.
