Installing lume-astra

=====================

Installing `lume-astra` from the `conda-forge` channel can be achieved by adding `conda-forge` to your channels with:

```

conda config --add channels conda-forge

```

Once the `conda-forge` channel has been enabled, `lume-astra` can be installed with:

```

conda install lume-astra

```

It is possible to list all of the versions of `lume-astra` available on your platform with:

```

conda search lume-astra --channel conda-forge

```

Installing Astra Executables

=====================

For convenience, you can set `$ASTRA_BIN` and `$GENERATOR_BIN` to point to the Astra and generator binaries for your system. See the [install_astra.ipynb](./examples/install_astra.ipynb) example for easy installation.

## Basic usage

See [simple_astra_run.ipynb](./examples/basic_astra_examples.ipynb). In short:

```python

from astra import Astra

A = Astra('../templates/Astra.in')

A.verbose = True

A.run()

...

output = A.output

```
