Stack requirements:
The general philosophy of the LSST software stack is that some python dependencies are so ubiquitous in scientific computing environments that it is more difficult for users to provide new versions than it is to supply them with the stack. The simulations framework relies on the following dependencies that are not part of the LSST stack:
...
Source the appropriate shell script and use eups (and see here for more info) to install the software and data.
...
This will install all packages currently in the catalogs simulations framework framework (CatSim) and metrics analysis framework (MAF) and all dependencies. Currently the complete list of installed packages is:
...
Any of the above packages and all its their dependencies can be installed by replacing lsst_sims with the appropriate package name in the above code snippet (e.g. sims_maf) in the above code snippet. Installation is now complete. See package specific pages for documentation.
