Installation¶
nestcheck is compatible with Python 2.7 and >=3.4, and can be installed with pip:
pip install nestcheck
Alternatively, you can download the latest version and install it by cloning the github repository:
git clone https://github.com/ejhigson/nestcheck.git
cd nestcheck
python setup.py install
Note that the github repository may include new changes which have not yet been released on PyPI (and therefore will not be included if installing with pip).
Both of these methods also automatically install any of nestcheck’s dependencies which are not already satisfied by your system.
Dependencies¶
nestcheck requires:
numpy>=1.13;
scipy>=1.0.0;
matplotlib>=2.1.0;
fgivenx>=2.1.11;
pandas>=0.21.0;
tqdm>=4.11.
Note also that producing the birth contour output files needed for nestcheck analysis using MultiNest requires v3.11 or later, and using PolyChord requires v1.14 or later and the setting “write_dead”=True (its default value).
