Getting Started

Pylira is a Python package for Bayesian low-counts image reconstruction and analysis. For the detailed description of the LIRA algorithm you can take a look at the following references: [Esch2004], [Connors2007], [Connors2011] and [Stein2015].

Installation

Pylira requires a working R installation to build against. On Mac-OS you can typically use:

brew install r

On Linux based systems the following should work:

sudo apt-get install r-base-dev r-base r-mathlib

Once R is installed you can install Pylira using:

pip install pylira
