This folder contains the EFTCAMB/EFTCosmoMC code.

Compiling EFTCAMB/EFTCosmoMC requires a modern fortran compiler capable of handeling F2008 features. These includes:

ifort (tested with v>15.0)
gcc/gfortran (tested with v>6.0)

To use other parts of the code, like the test or documentation parts other requirements have to be met. These include a fully fledged python installation. We warmly suggest to install a bundled package like (https://www.continuum.io/downloads).

A docker with all the required libraries is available at dockerhub.

To compile the EFTCAMB/EFTCosmoMC codes issue the following command:

make eftcosmomc

that will result in the executable program eftcosmomc that can be run like cosmomc.

On the first installation the build system will execute a script to install EFTCAMB and make sure that all EFTCAMB dependencies are properly installed.

We provide a set of notes that contain all the details and formulas of the EFTCAMB implementation:

This is the usual, fair way of giving credit to contributors to a scientific result. In addition, it helps us justify our effort in developing the EFTCAMB/EFTCosmoMC codes as an academic undertaking.
