        About maser4py
        ==============
        
        maser4py python package contains modules to
        deal with services, data and tools provided in the framework
        of the MASER portal (see section below).
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        Python 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6 must be available.
        
        The maser4py also requires the NASA CDF software to be run (visit http://cdf.gsfc.nasa.gov/ for more details). Especially the CDFLeapSeconds.txt file
        should be on the local disk and reachable from the $CDF_LEAPSECONDSTABLE env. variable. If it is not the case, maser4py offers tools to read and/or download
        this file from the NASA Web site (see user manual for more details).
        
        Using pip
        ---------
        
        From a terminal, enter:
        
           pip install maser4py
        
        Using Source
        ------------
        
        From a terminal, enter:
        
            git clone https://github.com/maserlib/maser4py
        
        Then, from the maser4py directory, enter:
        
            pip install -r requirements.txt
        
        Then,
        
            python3 setup.py install
        
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        From Python, enter "import maser".
        The module also offers specific command line interfaces.
        
        For more details, see the maser4py user manual available in the pdf format (in doc/build/latex/maser4py.pdf) or from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/maser4py (see in "Package Documentation").

        About MASER
        ===========
        
        The MASER (Measuring, Analyzing & Simulating Emissions in the Radio range) portal is offering access to a series of tools and databases linked to low frequency radioastronomy (a few kilohertz to a few tens of megahertz). Radio measurements in this spectral range are done with ground based observatories (for frequencies above the terrestrial ionosphere cutoff at 10 MHz) or from space based platforms (at low frequencies).
        
        In this frequency range, the main radio sources are the Sun and the magnetized planets. Measurements of the low frequency electric and magnetic field fluctuations can also provide local plasma diagnostics and in-situ observations of plasma waves phenomena in the Solar Wind or in planetary environments.
