Quantum photonic multiple scattering
====================================
TODO description
Installation
============
The package depends on several python modules and GSL (>= 2.0).
The python module dependencies should be installed automatically when running
the installation script. If you have a recent enough OS,
you can get GSL easily from the repositories; on Debian and derivatives,
just run ``apt-get install libgsl-dev`` under root. Alternatively,
you can `get the source
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>`_ get the source and compile it yourself.
After GSL is installed, you can install qpms to your local python library using::
python3 setup.py install --user
If GSL is not installed the standard library path on your system, you might
need to pass it to the installation script using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable.
Documentation
=============
Documentation of QPMS is a work in progress. Most of the newer code
is documented using doxygen comments. To build the documentation, just run
``doxygen``
in the root directory; the documentation will then be found in
``docs/html/index.html``.
Of course, the prerequisite of this is having doxygen installed.
If you don't, you will probably find it easily in your OS's
repositories. On Debian and derivatives, simply run ``apt-get install doxygen``
under root.
