solarbextrapolation is a library for extrapolating 3D magnetic fields from line-of-sight magnetograms.

First, install the following dependencies using your preferred Python package manager. We recommend the Anaconda distribution.

• numPy
• matplotlib
• sciPy
• astropy
• sunPy

Optionally, if you'd like to do advanced visualizations of the extrapolation field, you'll need the mayavi package.
