Introduction to the arepy¶
arepy is a Python module that can be used to analyse Arepo output files and snapshots.
It is primarily written in Python (v3.7+), but some parts are written in BASH.
This module requires by default following python modules:
numpy
scipy
h5py
matplotlib
multiprocessing
Installation¶
Installation of the arepy is very simple! Go to the main arepy directory that you cloned from this website and run the installation BASH script:
cd $HOME/path/to/arepy
sh install.sh
The installation script will ask you to include python/ directory into your local $PYTHONPATH and also to create an alias for the arepy bash script shell/run.sh.
After this the arepy python module can be included in any python script and you will be also able to use arepy shell scripts from your terminal.
In the next step you will have to choose system settings. You can either choose existing settings by inputing one of the system names in shell/systems/{SYSTEM_NAME}.sh or create a new one by putting your own name.
Arepo source code can be either stored directly in the arepy main directory /path/to/arepy/arepo/(source code), or you can set your own path in the shell/system.sh file as:
DIR_AREPO=/my/path/to/arepo
More examples and settings could be found in file shell/systems/examples.sh.
