Directions to install and test the WFIRST simulation code
D. Rabinowitz, 2016 Dec 5 

NOTE: This install script assumes you are working on the NERSC
computers where python2.7/anaconda can be loaded as a module.
The required Python packages are loaded into a local enviroment
using conda. 

After first unpacking the wfirst code, change to the
installation directory and execute "./install.bash".

This script will do the following:

1. Create a bash resource file ("./work/bash_wfirst.bash") to be sourced by all the bash 
   scripts in this installation. This sets up the required Python environment, paths,
   and other environment variables.

2. Loads the NERSC python-2.7/anaconda module, and then uses conda to create
   a local package environment ("./wfirst-env") with 
   the required Python packages ("wfirst-env" has links to a local ".conda" directory
   which contains the libraries).

3. Compile the concorde program required to solve travelling-salesman problem.

Follow the instructions in README to run the simulations
