Synthesizer is a python package for generating synthetic astrophysical observables. It is modular, flexible and fast.
Read the documentation here.
First clone the latest version of synthesizer
git clone https://github.com/flaresimulations/synthesizer.git
To install, enter the synthesizer directory and install with pip.
cd synthesizer
pip install .
We also provide optional dependency sets for development (dev), testing (test), and building the documentation (docs) should you ever needed them. To install all dependancies simply run the following (or delete as appropriate to get a specific subset):
pip install .[dev,test,docs]
Make sure you stay up to date with the latest versions through git:
git pull origin main

A code paper is currently in preparation. For now please cite Vijayan et al. 2021 if you use the functionality for producing photometry, and Wilkins et al. 2020 if you use the line emission functionality.
