Installation

Setting up a virtual environment

Windows

Tested with Python 3.9.13 on Windows 10 (10.0.19044)

1. Open a terminal in the root folder of the repository and create a virtual environment:

   python -m venv .env
   

   .env is an example name; any other name may be used.

2. Activate the virtual environment:

   .\.env\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install the package:

   pip install -e .
   

4. Deactivate the virtual environment when finished:

   deactivate
   

Linux

Same as on Windows, but activate the virtual environment with:

source .env/bin/activate

Simulations

1. Open a terminal and activate the virtual environment (see instructions above).

2. Navigate to the simulations folder and run a script of your choice. For example:

   python figure5.py
   

   This generates Figure 5 of the paper (figure5.pdf).

3. LaTeX fonts on the plots will be used only if a valid LaTeX installation is found.
