The “vernon” project is a toolkit for modeling synchrotron radio emission from the magnetospheres of low-mass objects. It is written by Peter K. G. Williams (pwilliams@cfa.harvard.edu).

• a C compiler to build the extension module that performs the Summers (2005) coefficient computation.
• libraries and development files for GSL (the GNU Scientific Library) version 2.4 or greater, for the Summers (2005) extension module.
• numpy version 1.10 or greater.
• pkgconfig version 1.3 or greater.
• pwkit version 0.8.19 or greater.
• six version 1.10 or greater.

To build the extension modules so that you can type import vernon from a Python interpreter running in this directory:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

To set up shims so that typing import vernon in your Python interpreter will load up whatever files you have here, without needing to re-install every time you change something:

python setup.py develop
