A modular and generic direct imaging correlator for radio interferometer arrays.
Note that currently this package only supports Python 2.6+, and not Python 3.
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 YOURENV python=2.7 anaconda
Activate this environment:
source activate EPIC
Then install conda packages:
conda install progressbar psutil pyyaml h5py
You also need AstroUtils:
pip install git+https://github.com/nithyanandan/AstroUtils.git
which will install a list of dependencies.
Finally, either install EPIC directly:
pip install git+https://github.com/nithyanandan/EPIC.git
or clone it into top-level directory called EPIC and install from this
directory:
mkdir EPIC
cd EPIC
pip install .
run_EPIC.py -i /path/to/imagingparms.yaml
where /path/to/imagingparms.yaml is a YAML file specifying all imaging
and processing parameters. See example in
epic/examples/imagingparms/EPIC_parms.yaml
