DMMW can be installed at different levels of functionality -

  • there is a slim basic version, which requires only a C and a FORTAN compiler. Gamma-ray, synchrotron and cosmic ray fluxes are stored in the form of textfiles;
  • in addition you can install the FITS module, which is build on top of the basic module. This module allows save the gamma-ray, synchrotron and cosmic ray fluxes are stored in the form of textfiles;
  • and a ROOT module which provides some plotting routines. The ROOT module can be build on top of the FITS or basic module.

Download

DOWNLOAD DMMW

Installation

  • > tar -xzvf DMMW_vX.Y.tgz (Mac users might have to drop the "z" option)
  • open "build_DMMW", read the instructions and set your variables
  • > ./build_DMMW
The core routine which solves the transport equation and generates the emissivities for a single set of parameters is called "simpleprop".

Run SimpleProp

  • > ./simpleprop test

NOTE:

For the FITS module the CFITSIO library is required. If you don't have itand you want to use FITS, get it from http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/fitsio. Untar the library and then set the variable MYFITSIODIR in build_DMMW accordingly. If you execute ./build_DMMW the CFITSIO library will be automatically compiled.

NOTE:

For the ROOT module a local ROOT installation is required. If you don't have ROOT, there are two ways to get it:
  • 1. Most linux distros provide root-packages. Search your repositories and install it from there. Mac users: you can get root via fink, you can also get MacOS binaries directly from http://root.cern.ch, however, not everybody seems to be happy with these two options - there are many instructions on how to install ROOT o Mac on the web.
  • 2. Installing ROOT from source: Go to http://root.cern.ch, download the source, get a cup of coffee and follow the instructions.
