As a general acknowledgment of agnpy usage, we recommend citing the agnpy release paper.
Additionally, to specify which version of agnpy is being used, that version's zenodo record can be cited.
We recommend citing both.
At the following links you can find:
- the agnpy release paper (for a general citation);
- the zenodo record (for citing a specific version)
You are invited to check the documentation at https://agnpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.
To get familiar with the code you can run the notebooks in the tutorials section
of the documentation.
The only dependencies are:
-
numpy managing the numerical computation;
-
astropy managing physical units and astronomical distances.
-
matplotlib for visualisation and reproduction of the tutorials.
-
scipy for interpolation
The code is available in the python package index and can be installed via pip
pip install agnpyThe code can also be installed using conda
conda install -c conda-forge agnpyA test suite is available within each agnpy module directory. To run the tests just type
pytest in the main directory of the cloned repository.
