pyseobnr provides state-of-the-art gravitational waveforms using the effective-one-body (EOB) approach.

For installation instructions, documentation, examples and more, visit the documentation here.

Installation

To install, you will need the following non-python dependencies:

  • hdf5

  • gsl>=2.7

  • swig>=4.0.1

  • fftw3

  • lalsuite

The easiest way to get these is by using conda. First, create a new conda environment with

conda create -n pyseobnr python=3.9
conda activate pyseobnr
conda install -c conda-forge lalsuite

You can install a released version of pyseobnr by running

pip install pyseobnr

If installing from source, you can do:

pip install -U pip wheel setuptools
pip install .

Installing dependencies for checks

If one wants to run sanity checks in pyseobnr/auxiliary/sanity_checks additional dependencies must be installed. This can be done simply by running

pip install .[checks]

You will have to install the waveform tools from here manually though with eg. the following command

pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/sergei_ossokine/waveform_tools
