This package requires NumPy, Scipy, and Matplotlib.
isodist requires sets of isochrones, which can be downloaded from various isochrone libraries' websites. These should be contained in directories under a general data directory for the isodist package. The general directory should be referenced by an environment variable ISODIST_DATA, such that it can be accessed as $ISODIST_DATA (for example, ls $ISODIST_DATA should give the contents of this directory. Environment variables can be defined as export ISODIST_DATA=/path/to/isodist/data/directory in bash-style shells and setenv ISODIST_DATA /path/to/isodist/data/directory in C-style shells. Individual isochrones should be stored in sub-directories of the general directory. For example, the parsec-2mass-spitzer-wise directory should contain PARSEC isochrones with the 2mass-spitzer-wise filter set (these names can then be used in the isodist code and will be found).
Please contact the author of this package for help with obtaining the isochrones.
