Description: PyBDSF
        ======
        
        PyBDSF (the Python **B**\ lob **D**\ etection and **S**\ ource **F**\ inder, formerly
        PyBDSM) is a tool designed to decompose radio interferometry images into
        sources and make available their properties for further use. PyBDSF can
        decompose an image into a set of Gaussians, shapelets, or wavelets as
        well as calculate spectral indices and polarization properties of
        sources and measure the psf variation across an image. PyBDSF uses an
        interactive environment based on CASA that will be familiar to most
        radio astronomers. Additionally, PyBDSF may also be used in Python
        scripts.

        Installation
        ------------
        Installation is done through ``pip``, e.g. ``pip install .`` if you cloned the reposiory
        or ``pip install https://github.com/lofar-astron/PyBDSF/archive/v1.8.15.tar.gz`` to install the latest release.
        
        External requirements include the ubuntu packages (or similar packages in another Linux distribution):
        
        * ``gfortran``
        * ``libboost-python-dev``
        * ``libboost-numpy-dev`` (Only if boost > 1.63)
        * ``python-setuptools``.
          
        Also, a working ``numpy`` installation is required.
        At runtime, you will need ``scipy`` and either ``pyfits`` and ``pywcs`` or ``python-casacore`` or ``astropy``.
        
        If you install as a user not using conda, use ``pip install --user``.
        In this case, the script ``pybdsf`` is installed in ``~/.local/bin``, so you might want to add that to your ``$PATH``.
        
        Installation on MacOS / OSX is more involved, you will need the packages mentioned above, for example installed with Homebrew.
        You will need to tell `setup.py` to use the same compiler for fortran as for C++.
