A modular 21cm signal simulator, including foregrounds and instrumental effects.
Note that currently this package only supports Python 2.6+, and not Python 3.
The only non-python dependencies required are openmpi and xterm. These can usually be installed via a distro package manager (for Arch Linux, the package names are exactly openmpi and xterm).
If using the Anaconda python distribution, many of the packages may be installed using conda.
It is best to first create a new env:
conda create -n prisim python=2
Then install conda packages:
conda install numpy scipy matplotlib astropy mpi4py progressbar psutil pyyaml h5py
Now do
pip install aipy.
You also need astroutils:
pip install git+git://github.com/nithyanandan/general
Finally, either install PRISim directly:
pip install git+git://github.com/nithyanandan/PRISim
or in the top-level directory:
pip install ..
