Project description

Colossus is an astrophysics toolkit, the name is an acronym for COsmology, haLO, and large-Scale StrUcture toolS. Please consult the Online Documentation for details.

Installation

The easiest way to install Colossus is by executing:

pip install colossus

You might need to prefix this command with sudo. Alternatively, you can clone the BitBucket repository by executing:

git clone git@bitbucket.org:bdiemer/colossus.git

After installing colossus, you should run its unit test suite to ensure that the code works as expected. In python, execute:

from colossus.tests import run_tests

The output should look something like this:

test_home_dir (colossus.tests.test_utils.TCGen) ... ok
test_Ez (colossus.tests.test_cosmology.TCComp) ... ok
...
test_DK14ConstructorOuter (colossus.tests.test_halo_profile.TCDK14) ... ok
test_DK14ConstructorWrapper (colossus.tests.test_halo_profile.TCDK14) ... ok
