Any of the above packages and all their dependencies can be installed by replacing lsst_sims with the appropriate package name in the above code snippet (e.g. sims_maf). Installation is now complete. See package specific pages for documentation.
Known issues:
If you have issues with installation, first check that your system meets the minimum requirements listed here: LSST software user guide prerequisites.
If you are having issues specifically with pyephem on a Mac, check for the existence of a /Developer directory. This is obsolete after upgrading to newer versions of XCode, but not removed by the XCode installer. Rename the /Developer directory and pyephem will install.
If you are using your own python, be sure to check the Using Your Own Python page.
