Overview
CYTools is an open-source software package that relies on various other software packages built for Unix-like systems. It is primarily distributed in the form of a conda environment.
We provide simple installation and usage instructions for the major operating systems. These are meant for most users, as they allow you to install and use CYTools without having to memorizing long commands.
Once you are done with the installation, we encourage new users, especially those who are not familiar with Python, to follow the tutorial where we showcase the most important functionality, and give concrete examples of common computations one might be interested in.
Finally, we provide more in-depth instructions including performance tips for users who want to perform very extensive computations with a large number of polytopes or triangulations.
