This will install all packages currently in the catalogs simulations framework (CatSim) and metrics analysis framework and all dependencies.  The installation should take on the order of 2 hours, with a final required installation size of 10GB. 

Currently the complete list of installed packages is:

  • base – LSST import utilities
  • boost– Third party C++ package
  • cfitsio– FITSIO I/O library
  • daf_base – LSST data access framework 
  • doxygen– Documentation suite
  • freetds– OpenSource implementation for Tabular Data Streams (needed by pymssql)
  • healpy– Python bindings for HealPix 
  • palpy– Python binidings for PAL (Positional Astronomy Library)
  • pex_config – LSST configuration package
  • pex_exceptions – LSST exception handling package.
  • pex_policy – Another LSST configuration package
  • pyephem– Ephemeris generation code
  • pyfits– Python bindings for interacting with FITS files
  • pykg_config– Pure python implementation of pkg_config needed to install healpy on Mac OSX
  • pymssql– Python bindings for talking to MS-SqlServer databases (needed to access UW base catalogs)
  • scons– Software construction  tool
  • sconsUtils – LSST utilities for scons
  • sims_catalogs_generation – Code for querying databases for catalog data
  • sims_catalogs_measures – Code for constructing observed catalogs 
  • sims_catUtils – Package containing example code and definitions of base catalogs hosted at UW.
  • sims_photUtils – Utilities for calculating photometry including variability
  • sims_coordUtils – Utilities for calculating coordinate corrections (proper motion, parallax, refraction, etc.)
  • sims_dustmaps – SFD dust maps
  • sims_maf – Metrics Analysis Framework
  • sims_sed_library – Library of SED data for simulated catalogs
  • swig– Library for auto-generating python bindings for C++ code
  • throughputs – Nominal throughput curves for SDSS and LSST systems
  • utils – LSST utilities package

Any of the above Any of the individual 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.
