  • How to start

At the moment MAGIX is a command line based program. Therefore, MAGIX can be called by other programs, e.g. CASA.

Please note, that in contrast to the manual, the Numerical Recepies routines are NOT available.

MAGIX can be started by simply typing at the command prompt:

./magix_start.py io_control.xml

 

 

 

In order to get help type

 

./magix_start.py --help

 

or read the readme.txt file.

 

 

 

If no screen output is desired, type

 

./magix_start.py --quiet io_control.xml

 

If you do not want to plot the resulting fit function (or if you have problems with the matplotlib package), type

 

./magix_start.py --noplot io_control.xml

 

MAGIX looks for the directory "Modules" in the current working directory, which contains all necessary python and Fortran modules. Do not rename or move this directory.
