Installation guide

You can install the python module in the usual way with a setup.py script. For installation in your home directory you can run:

python setup.py install --user

For convenience you can put the script bin/runtailz in your path. runtailz is a simple python script that calls main() from tailz/main.py .

You can then execute tailz:

runtailz -h

Dependencies

• numpy - The numpy library is used for all numerical computations.
• scipy - A few routines from scipy are used for interpolation. This includes scipy.interpolate.LinearNDInterpolator
• scikit-learn - From scikit-learn we use the KDTree routine sklearn.neighbors.KDTree. The scikit-learn KDTree data structure can be pickled, while the one from scipy cannot be. This is important for multithreading.
