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 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/index.html.
