This is the core library for GLASS, the Generator for Large Scale Structure. For
more information, see the full [documentation]. There are a number of [examples]
to get you started.

## Installation

Releases of the code can be installed with pip:

```sh
pip install glass
```

or conda:

```sh
conda install -c conda-forge glass
```

If you are interested in the latest version of the code, you can pip-install
this repository:

```sh
pip install git+https://github.com/glass-dev/glass.git
```

## Citation

If you use GLASS simulations or the GLASS library in your research, please
[cite the original GLASS paper](https://glass.readthedocs.io/v2025.3/user/publications.html)
in your publications.
