SKYMAP installation

Warning

The current version of this package is not updated and does not work with cWB. Work is in progress to fix this issue.

Note

SKYMAP is a separate post-processing tool, not a build dependency of the cWB library: it is not part of either the CMake or the traditional Makefile build (see Installing a local copy of the cWB libraries), and is not available via conda-forge.

whatis : simple module and executables to quantify skymaps and compare them. Also contains plotting and visualization routines, as well as a script that builds friendly html documents summarizing this information (intended to be used with GraceDb).
