The documentation is built using sphinx:

pip install sphinx sphinx-rtd-theme sphinx-autodoc-typehints
cd docs
make html

Running unit tests

There are some unit tests which can be run with just

pytest

in the source directory. This will test the classes for reading local HDF5 files containing HEALPix map, particle and halo lightcone data. These tests use downsampled lightcone outputs which are stored in the git repository in tests/data.

To also test access to remote files:

pytest --hdfstream-server=<server_url>
