μLFC is a small library to facilitate the evaluation of the local field at the muon site. It is distributed as a standard library with C APIs and a Python extension.
The μLFC C library has no dependencies. CMake is used as a building tool. Any C90 compiler can be used to build the library. The details for the Python package follows.
The python extension has the following dependencies:
- Python 3.1+ (http://www.python.org)
- Numpy 1.10+ (http://www.numpy.org)
The easiest way to install the Python extension is using pre-baked wheels with pip:
pip install mulfc
Important note: when installing on Windows with pip, the minimal
dependencies for Numpy are:
- Python 3.5 ➜ Numpy 1.10+
- Python 3.6 ➜ Numpy 1.12+
For Python versions different from the ones listed above muLFC is not available as Python Wheels, you'll have to compile and install it from source.
You may want to build the extension yourself, especially for optimizing performances.
To compile and install the C library just do
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make installTo install the python extension you can do
cd python
python setup.py build
python setup.py test
python setup.py installThe library and the Python extension are independent from each other.
