Colossus
========

Colossus is an astrophysics toolkit, the name is an acronym for **CO**\ smology, ha\ **LO**\ , and large-**S**\ cale **S**\ tr\ **U**\ cture tool\ **S**\ . Please consult the `Online Documentation <https://bdiemer.bitbucket.io/colossus/>`_ for details.

Installation
------------

The easiest way to install Colossus is by executing:

.. code:: shell

    pip install colossus

You might need to prefix this command with ``sudo``. Alternatively, you can clone the BitBucket repository by executing:

.. code:: shell

    hg clone https://bitbucket.org/bdiemer/colossus

After installing colossus, you should run its unit test suite to ensure that the code works as expected. In python, execute:

.. code:: shell

    from colossus.tests import run_tests

The output should look something like this:

.. code:: shell

    test_home_dir (colossus.tests.test_utils.TCGen) ... ok
    test_Ez (colossus.tests.test_cosmology.TCComp) ... ok
    ...
    test_DK14ConstructorOuter (colossus.tests.test_halo_profile.TCDK14) ... ok
    test_DK14ConstructorWrapper (colossus.tests.test_halo_profile.TCDK14) ... ok

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Ran 86 tests in 7.026s

    OK
